Thanks for your feedback Eric. I finally got freevo working on full screen more using x11. This may not be the best solution, but it works for the time being. I fixed this my making MPLAYER_VO_DEV = "x11" , so my brother is happy for now.
I myself have a Matrox G400 working with directfb, and so far this one has the best TV out I've seen. I am currently working on a new media center based on a VIA EPIA 800 motherboard.. this is going to be challenging.
