Dear Jos Collin
Thanks a lot for your response.Can you please try
fbxine (xine-console package in debian) and say how to load subtitles in
fbxine. fbxine is good even without subtitles. I browsed alot for fbxine
keyboard shortcuts, but didn't find any.I'll try mplayer and share my
response soon....try fbxine as $ fbxine video.avi

Dear Sanalkumar,
I was waiting to see if someone is replying.

The website doesn't say that it WILL DAMAGE. I believe that this is an
already existing problem, which may occur for some vga values. But mostly,
it won't occur.
> $mplayer -vo fbdev video.avi
I'm getting the resolution problem if I use fbdev. I'm using $mplayer -vo
sdl video.avi here. It gives me full screen always. I found that scale
option doesn't work in the above method. I don't think that it is a
problem. Because either way, you cannot do anything on that particular
console when the video is playing. So it is better to be fullscreen,
unless you want to debug while the video is playing.
fbxine -- I don't know about fbxine. I think it is for playing vcds and
dvds. I use mplayer for doing that also.
$mplayer -vo sdl vcd://
$mplayer -vo sdl dvd://
You may have to specify track numbers after //
fbi and fbgs -- I'm not having any resolution problems so far. fbi always
works fine. fbgs -c will display color too. Have you enabled frame buffer
support before compiling the kernel. I'm using the following option for
booting the kernel.
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-amd64 root=/dev/sda5 ro noapic vga=788

പറയാതെ പരിഭവം ഞാനൊന്നു നെടുവീര്പ്പിട്ടു-
കഴിയുമ്പോള് ലോകവും തീരും..........
