Package: vlc-plugin-sdl
Version: 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2
Severity: important
I have gotten a couple of game packages, sopwith and slashem-sdl to work
with SDL, so SDL seems to be working in frame buffer mode.
No matter what the environmental configuration variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER
is set to (usually 'fbcon'), however, vlc -V sdl ... always
plays in cacalib mode.
This seems to defeat the purpose of vlc-plugin-sdl.
I think I've checked everything, but it is possible I am
simply ignorant of how things should be configured
to utilize this package.

Hello,
VLC versions 1.0.x and earlier override the SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER variable.
This should be fixed in newer versions. That being noted, SDL should select
the best available driver. If it picks cacalib, then probably nothing else
works (especially X11 and FrameBuffer).
Best regards,
