if the movie's pixel format matches the video mode's pixel format.
Pay attention to the bpp value, fbdev driver tries to use the current,
or if you specify the -bpp option, then that.</LI>
<LI><B>-zoom</B> option isn't supported (software scaling is slow). -fs option

    Yoh. Next task is to make the cursor on tty1 (or whatever) to disappear,
    and turn off screen blanking. Execute the following commands:</P>

    <P>
      <CODE>echo -e '\033[?25l'<BR>
      setterm -blank 0</CODE>
    </P>

    <P>
    You possibly want to put the above into a script, and also clear
    the screen.. To turn the cursor back :<BR><CODE>echo -e '\033[?25h'</CODE>
    </P>

    <P>Yeah kewl. Start movie playing with <CODE>mplayer -vo mga -fs -screenw 640
    -screenh 512 &lt;filename&gt;</CODE><BR>
    (if you use X, now change to matroxfb with for example CTRL-ALT-F1 !)<BR>
