Re: [Freevo-users] Re: screensaver idea

[Rob S. <ro...@in...>]

SDL isn't really an output method in itself but can be configured to use 
various output drivers.  The SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable will 
let you specify which to use, see: http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/sdlenvvars.php

If you don't have X available it might be easier to setup the vesa 
framebuffer in your kernel and export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon.
