Bug#508760: vlc-plugin-sdl: no matter what SDL_VIDEODRIVER is set to, vlc uses cacalib for video display

[Dallas Legan]

Package: vlc-plugin-sdl
Version: 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2
Severity: important

I have gotten a couple of game packages, sopwith and slashem-sdl to work
with SDL, so SDL seems to be working in frame buffer mode.
No matter what the environmental configuration variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER
is set to (usually 'fbcon'), however, vlc -V sdl ... always
plays in cacalib mode.
This seems to defeat the purpose of vlc-plugin-sdl.
I think I've checked everything, but it is possible I am
simply ignorant of how things should be configured
to utilize this package.
