SDL isn't really an output method in itself but can be configured to use various output drivers. The SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable will let you specify which to use, see: http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/sdlenvvars.php
If you don't have X available it might be easier to setup the vesa framebuffer in your kernel and export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon.

I think my SDL install is broken. I'm running gentoo1.4, libsdl-1.2.6-r3
I can get this app to run on the -root (in xscreensaver), but it segfaults if I try to run it as anything else. On a side note, When I run mplayer with -vo sdl I get nice blue screen for the duration of the video file. It works with -vo x11. -vo xv is blue also.
Any ideas on where to start looking?

2. It would only work for people with X11 based setups, unless there are console based fb screensavers. I guess we could try to force screen blanking in fb setups
we could add a config variable SCREENSAVER with the screensaver
command. It could also be possible to use mplayer to play a
screensaver.
There is an SDL screensaver, nothing like xscreensaver.. I'm trying to compile it now (fireflies, http://somewhere.fscked.org/fireflies/)
Actually reading the docs it is an extension to xscreensaver but it can run as standalone on sdl.. Hmm, were breaking the bounds of my understanding on this one..
Question, I'm running X11 on this desktop. Is it possible to run SDL under or over it to test this or do I need to wait till I have access to my g400 at home?
