G400 in Linux, please help!

[Wombat]

And knowing Gentoo (I ran it for a while), I'd probably just do an emerge of mplayer and check the log to see if it recompiles directfb.

[englishpremier]

ok i installed the latest DirectFb version but i've got the following problem when running ./configure --enable-gui on mplayer.

Checking for DirectFB headers presence ... yes (using -I/usr/local/include/directfb)
Checking for DirectFB ... /tmp/mplayer-conf-18978-2331.o: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-0.9.so.21: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
no (failed to get version)

Anyone know how to sort this out?

Anyone know how to sort this out?

It looks like you might have forgotten to add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf. Please do that, and run ldconfig as root.

hmm that sorted that problem got mplayer installed now, when i try to run something i get the following:

This is somewhat strange. Are you still using kernel 2.6? You see, when DirectFB discovers kernel 2.6, it should look for i2c in /sys, not /proc. Do you have /sys mounted?

[englishpremier]

yeah i'm still using 2.6 and /sys is mounted.

I'm using ubuntu, don't know if that works differently to any other linux variety, should be the same as debian really.
