Hello,

The SDL's pkg-message says we can use video driver in tty terminal.

  To do this you have to load the vesa kernel module or enable it in your
  kernel, and set environment variable "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=vgl".

I tried it with mplayer :

$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=vgl; export SDL_VIDEODRIVER
$ mplayer -vo sdl <the file here>

And that's what happened :

AVI file format detected.

[message repeated a lot of time]

Do you have any idea? I of course compiled my kernel with the following 
options :

options VESA
options X86BIOS
options SC_PIXEL_MODE

and my terminal is set to the mode 496 (0x1f0) 0x0000001f G 1366x768x32 
D   8x16  0xa0000 64k 64k 0xc0000000 4128k

Cheers,
