I believe pygame is a means to a way. In order to get Freevo to display over SDL, I believe it uses pygame, which is a Python wrapper for SDL. I believe all non-X11 is piped through pygame over SDL onto a display. So pygame is not really part of the games menu item. I am not a developer but I believe that how it works, correct me if im wrong.Already done all that (SDL was done right, links are there, installed all dependencies, no more runtime), still the same problem. Just a question, if I have not activated the games plugin in freevo, why does it bother me with pygame errors in the first place?

I have seen this error in other threads before, but could not find a resolution to this. I have already added: plugin.remove('game') in my local_conf.py (although i don't think it ever gets loaded in the main freevo_conf.py to begin with).
If I run mplayer with -vo dfbmga (or directfb), it works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks,

You have to start installing the dependecies, don't use runtime. If you have already installed the dependencies, then you need to recompile SDL, I have a howto on my page. Give it a try and let me know if it works: http://freevo.webalias.com/matrox.html
Make sure to make the links, I believe this works for all version of Matrox cards... Look for "Installing SDL:" and follow from there.

By the way, emulators work fine with Matrox cards, I have a couple of patches to get them to work.
I would refinetly double check your SDL compilation, that is the problem. As you will see from the link I have oncluded, I have seen this problem many times and it's always SDL.
