On my (1.3.4, nvidia-something) I do not have to switch anything. It just works. When I have a look at the debug output of freevo, it seems to start mplayer with a command line option like -vo xv,sdl,x11,... or something like this. I believe that mplayer probes the given display options and runs with the first one working. But as Dischi said, this might not work with xine/fbxine.

And I can use freevo in X11 or framebuffer. I don't think that we really need a command switch. Just a little script which copies around the different config files would do it.

But one question remains: Why does mplayer not work, if I try to set display=vesafb oder fbdev in freevo.config? mplayer complains about not being able to open the display. When I just delete the display line in freevo.config, it works. Why that? It should make no difference...
