Thanks Aubin, I've now got it working. As per
David Amiel's post I needed to use libsdl cvs.
One more thing, I have modified my MPlayer Args in local_config.py to use
dfbmga:buffermode=triple. Can I easilly modify freevo to use this at startup. This
may be of benefit to others as it doesnt need the vsync kernel patch to get best
results. Not that I suppose it makes much difference to the menu's.
