I didn't have to change anything in my local_conf.py to get the OSD
working. all my problems were external deps. If the DirectFB works
outside freevo. (run mplayer from a terminal windows specifing the
DirectFB display) I believe at the bottom of the web page referenced in
the WIKI tells you how to do this.
any way if that works and the .pc files are in the right spot rerun
configure within SDL redirect the output to afile look for the line
dealing with DirectFB to verify its going to be supported when you
recompile.
