For some unknow reason sdl refuses to work on my system
I've tried everything suggested on their site with no luck. Here
are a couple examples where it won't start, from a kde terminal:
qemu freeBSDminimal.img
Could not initialize SDL - exiting
from mplayer:
Playing house.s01D01a.avi.

note mplayer works fine when started with out -vo sdl:
vo: X11 running at 1152x864 with depth 16 and 16 bpp (":0" => local display)
Opening video filter: [noise=6t:6t]
Things I've tried:
setting DISPLAY :0.0
setting DISPLAY ringworm:0.0
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=vgl
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dga
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=mga
Here is what Xorg.0.log shows as my video adapter:
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP rev 130, Mem @

xf86AutoConfig: Primary PCI is 1:0:0
Any why have ANY suggestions?
Thanks,
