Duncan,

I DirectFB won't work since I'm not root (or is there a way to run Freevo in
DirectFB without being root?)
Yesterdayevening, just before I'd gone to bed, I tried the sdl driver, and
that works!  I have full screen video now.

Only problem is, that I cannot watch TV from Freevo with the sdl driver.
I tried watching TV from the command-line with -vo sdl, and that works, but
when I choose a channel from Freevo, I get back into the TV guide after a
few seconds.
I'll try to set the childapp_debug to 1 to check what error mplayer gives me
this evening. :-)

The other problem I had, that the screen was blanking, and the cursor was on
top of Freevo after having played a video, I solved with the following two
lines in .bash_profile:

setterm -cursor off
setterm -blank 0

So we're getting somewhere :-)


Michel

What have you tried so far as the vo driver for mplayer. Have you tried
fbdev, fbdev2, sdl or directfb?

These are all framebuffer drivers. SDL may be limited to SDL version
1.1.7. DirectFB should work without hardware acceleration, which isn't
really required for video data.
