There is also in freevo_config.py (usually in /usr/share/freevo/) the setting
that freevo uses. Under the mplayer settings is:
if CONF.display == 'x11':
MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'xv,sdl,x11,' # X11 drivers in order of preference
I would think if you change this and add only the options your specific system
can/will use, it will work.
The method below would be a better fix (in case you upgrade or change your
system in the future), but I have had issues with the mplayer.conf file in teh
past.
Good Luck!!
