Do you have SDL_VIDEODRIVER exported as something wierd?
Try export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 then start freevo. Also you should change display in freevo.conf to be x11 not xv because using x11 tells mplayer to try xv first now.

this is odd because the same computer can run mplayer, xawtv and mythtv with no problems. system is rh8, 2.4.21, gatos xv(ati rage II 3d/dvd+) and alsa9(sb5.1), 233MMX,128MB.
ive also tried to run freevo on another rh8 box, which is a AMD 1G/512MB, sis6326 (PAL tv out), alsa9, and again it wont run, same error. and this box also runs mplayer/mythtv/xawtv no problems. Ive also tried with the standard X11 sis driver and same deal.
(its the full binary release - 1.3.2)
please someone - HELP!
roh.
