Dear Jos Collin<br> Thanks a lot for your response.Can you please try fbxine (xine-console package in debian) and say how to load subtitles in fbxine. fbxine is good even without subtitles. I browsed alot for fbxine keyboard shortcuts, but didn't find any.I'll try mplayer and share my response soon....try fbxine as $ fbxine video.avi<br>

<br>
I was waiting to see if someone is replying.<br>

<br>
</div>The website doesn't say that it WILL DAMAGE. I believe that this is an<br>
already existing problem, which may occur for some vga values. But mostly,<br>
it won't occur.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> $mplayer -vo fbdev video.avi<br>
<br>
</div>I'm getting the resolution problem if I use fbdev. I'm using $mplayer -vo<br>
sdl video.avi here. It gives me full screen always. I found that scale<br>
option doesn't work in the above method. I don't think that it is a<br>
problem. Because either way, you cannot do anything on that particular<br>
console when the video is playing. So it is better to be fullscreen,<br>
unless you want to debug while the video is playing.<br>
<br>
fbxine -- I don't know about fbxine. I think it is for playing vcds and<br>
dvds. I use mplayer for doing that also.<br>
$mplayer -vo sdl vcd://<br>
$mplayer -vo sdl dvd://<br>
<br>
You may have to specify track numbers after //<br>
<br>
fbi and fbgs -- I'm not having any resolution problems so far. fbi always<br>
works fine. fbgs -c will display color too. Have you enabled frame buffer<br>
support before compiling the kernel. I'm using the following option for<br>
booting the kernel.<br>
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-amd64 root=/dev/sda5 ro noapic vga=788<br>
