Hallo Maurice!

We've just noticeably fallen behind on this machine. We'll have to fix that.

mplayer -vo x11 <inset name of AV file here> -zoom

Not on this machine.

We seem to be lacking xorg drivers. I am betting that there is no xorg on this machine so fbdev2 is the way to go.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice

My graphics device:

Intel Mobile 4 Series Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel

I am using Slackware 14.2 with MESA 13.0.6
and the 5.4.66 kernel (custom upgrades).
No X is running except by a necessity. Framebuffer. Videos play well.
