No idea about framebuffer and mplayer. Never tried that. For running mplayer from console I just run : mplayer -vo vesa -bpp 16 file.avi ( If I don't give -bpp 16 it does not work on my system ). I had all these days oss sound drivers on my machine. Yesterday I downloaded alsa latest from CVS and compiled on my machine and mplayer works quite well with alsa too. I will have to check out if there is any remarkable improvements in sound due to alsa drivers compared to oss. :-) Sound Card PCI ES1371 If vesa drivers plays well on your system there should not be any need of framebuffer stuff.
