ok log is attached.

Btw. if I redirect mplayer output to file like /dev/null screen is black, but 
otherwise it's no cleared. And it would be nice if you could hide the 
blinking cursor from the framebuffer console, if I use 1024x768 (ie same res 
as framebuffer). Maybe use vo_fbdev code that switches tty to graphics mode 
if -fs is specified.

Btw. vo_vesa in 1024x768x16bpp with software scaling from 640x272 divx is as 
fast as equivalent with -vo xv (but maybe I can't compare as I've hacked my 
savage xvideo driver to use VSYNC, while -vo vesa does not wait for vertical 
retrace, which causes tearing effects).
