[SDL] XFree86-4.0.1c and smpeg

> I have a tv tuner card, but I don't have that black screen problem.

can you turn xawtv on, then switch to console, then back to X? if yes,
can you send me your XF86Config?
I have one more question about Voodoo3 and XF CVS - can you start
svgalib application on console, when X is running? my system hangs if
I do it...

yes, I have the same effect

but I think SDL just write picture on screen, it don't talk with
hardware, but with X... I still don't know what is "hardware acceleration
in smpeg"

if you have 2.4.0 - please compile tdfx framebuffer, then try plaympeg
with fb, I think it will work, becouse I succesfully play mpegs that
way, and it has nothing to do with X

it's strange, that everything works normally, except smpeg, I must try
old versions of SDL & smpeg...
