VLC to framebuffer directly

[nantonop]

hi...

i'm trying to get VLC to display directly to the framebuffer and bypass the x system... but can't seem to make it work...

i tried using the --intf dummy and --vout fb options but these don't work...

I'm now trying to build & use the DirectFB plugin but cant help feeling there's a simpler way...

sorry if i'm not being too unclear but i'm very new at this...
any suggestions most welcome...

thanks...

managed to get fb to work... it's rather jerky though...

one thing however is that i can't switch to a different console when vlc is displaying to the fb...
