svgalib ,vesa and mplayer

[mikael backman]

Hi.
I use FreeBSD 5.2

I try to watch a movie with mplayer in the console using
svgalib for video. I have included "options VESA" in GENERIC
and compiled and installed the kernel.

I get no error messages  when I run "mplayer -vo svga file.avi". It just 
says that pseudo terminal 9 is allocated for svgalib and then mplayer 
quitly aborts.And there is nothing displayed in terminal 9.

I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what.
Any help would be appriciated.

regard
Mikael
