I *think* this is because you haven't got a matching modeline in
/etc/fb.modes for the mode set in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf
I have the following tagged on the end of my /etc/fb.modes:
#

Try it and see...

Yeah, I run everything as root: it's a dedicated mediabox, so it isn't
really a security problem in that there's nothing much to compromise &
freevo doesn't listen to the network anyway. (Or at least my
installation of freevo doesn't...)
