Compile vlc without x11, with fb

[bler]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile vlc without x11 support. Actually, I'm trying to compile vlc to use framebuffer output, but I think that x11 gets in the way.

My current ./configure options are: --without-x --disable-glx --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2 --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-xosd --disable-xinerama --disable-dbus --disable-dbus-control --enable-run-as-root --disable-sdl --disable-opengl --disable-xcb --disable-freetype --disable-screen

Compiled with the above I get:
# vlc -I dummy --vout fb --noaudio ff/1.avi
[...]
[0x81f4a28] fb video output error: cannot get terminal mode (Invalid argument)
[0x81f4a28] x11 video output error: cannot open display
[...]

So, is it because framebuffer doesn't want to work that vlc drops back to x11, or I'm missing some configure option that makes vlc go for x11 despite '--vout fb'?

--vout fb,none

But that is not going to fix the framebuffer error anyway.

Yes it's becasue framebuffer doesn't work that it falls back to x11.
Remi's command line will avoid it from falling back to x11

OK thanks, it fixed the x11 problem - I'll work on getting fb to work
