You missed the most important one :-) http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=59892 The problem is discussed here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528365 This solution is: apt-get install vlc-plugin-sdl vlc -V sdl somefile.avi If this works, you can set the driver in ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc: # Video output module (string) vout=sdl Let me know if it helps.
