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
