When I start mplayer without telling it what driver to use it chooses the sdl driver and I get a beautiful picture and no keyboard control. SDL uses svgalib for its low-level output. If I start mplayer with -vo svga I get a small flickering picture which can't be expanded or zoomed to full-screen, so SDL informs svgalib better than mplayer does directly. Apparently there is some reason for disabling console input for vo_sdl, but in my case, since keyboard input is allowed under vo_svga there is no reason to disable the keyboard under sdl. I have put a getch2_enable() call in vo_sdl.c after the point where sdl tells which driver *it* is using, and I get nothing -- no display and it hangs; I have to kill it from another machine. Any suggestion about how I can enable getch2 under sdl will be greatly appreciated. -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== Is the Pope Catholic? Do bears shit in the woods?
