Hi, does anybody know how it is possible in Debian (Potato or Woody) to watch MPEG videos in reasonable quality on Linux console (with SVGAlib and SVGA-Textmode). I have tried framebuffer already, but the good video picture is at expense of numerous other problems (e.g. the non-functioning of zgv which I really need). All my attempts to compile the SVGAlib patch for ucbmpeg-play either failed, or the resulting binary did not work (does anybody happens to have a precompiled working binary???). The SDL version smpeg-plaympeg works, but only shows this weird black+white ascii-art on console, which is not really fun to watch ;-) I tried nearly all options (incl. libggi-target-svgalib etc.), studied lots of docs, and searched the web already since many weeks now, and I am still clueless. Since I hate starting X for anything that could be done on console, I would very much appreciate any hints. Cheers, Guenter
P.S.: My graphics card is a Matrox Mystique 220; my Linux kernel is 2.2.17 (custom); and my Debian version is Woody. -- Linux: Who needs GATES in a world without fences?
