jdion81 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Is there something special that needs installed to allow Mplayer to user Frambuffer as an output device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirogen2 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 It needs DirectFB. But for the case that you simply want to play movies on the default console (without X), I suggest using the vesa, svga or even cvidix drivers, as they don't require FB at all. A true memory saving.

jdion81 Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 with the memory savings I could look at better frame rates and or less dropped frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirogen2 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 No, but when you have an ol' i586 500mhz with 64meg standing in the corner, you can be happy if you can play a movie (~720x540 DVD size) at all at reasonable speed :D whilst keeping all the server apps running and not requiring to swap.
