Putting fbset here is nonsense, and hardcoding a path is not a good
idea anyway. Fortunately, that code is mostly obsolete, since mplayer
now automagically grabs the dimensions for /dev/fb0 or $FRAMEBUFFER
(if possible) when using -vo fbdev or mga. I dunno about vesa/vidix
stuff since I've never used it.

Anyway, if you still want to 'fix' it, try something like:

res=`PATH="$PATH:/usr/sbin" fbset | grep geometry | sed 's/^ *//'`
