 Q: SDL output doesn't work or compile. Problem is ....
-A: It works only with SDL v1.1.7 (and maybe newer)
+A: It is tested with SDL v1.1.8 (probably runs on 1.1.7 too).

 Q: fullscreen option (-fs) and/or -xy doesn't work with x11 driver (-vo x11)
-A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, and it can't change screen resolution.

+A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, but XF86VidMode support is now

+   try if the DGA driver works for you. It's much faster.
