I can´t get it to work, trying
Code:
mplayer -vo sdl:aalib filename

gives:
Code:
SDL: Initializing of SDL failed: No available video device.
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

to use aalib for mplayer I just type this:

Code:

mplayer -vo aa file.mpg


This question may be over my head becuase I don't know what you're trying to do with sdl AND aa lib with the 'sdl:' in there.

You may already know this, but I'll say it for the sake of completion (and anyone else looking at this later), but you can type

Code:

mplayer -vo help


to get a list of available video outputs (X, aalib, gl, SDL, etc..) that your system has available for mplayer. If you don't have aalib (listed as 'aa' in that output), you need to have aalib in your USE setting in /etc/make.conf, have aalib emerged, then emerge mplayer.

Yes, that worked fine (well, not really beautiful), had read that syntax from some website.
