My experience is that svgalib won't work on 2.6 kernels.  It gives a weird 
error message "svgalib: mmap error rrr."  The easiest way to set things up 
with Mplayer is to edit the file .mplayer/config in your home directory. 
Putting the line "vo=null" in it will instruct Mplayer to use the null 
video output by default.  If you have the framebuffer console coming up at 
boot time, you could change it to "vo=fbdev," and sighted users would be 
able to see video.
