I was under the impression that X is not required to have OSD from mplayer. I am trying to do this without X. Is it possible? update I can now get text on the frame buffer putting the following in "/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6" did the trick fbcon ivtvfb Text is too small to see at normal viewing distance though and mplayer OSD still does not work.
