On the pre7 it says 'sdl:using driver svgalib'.  I have direct svga support as 
well as sdl support and it looks like pre7 is looking for sdl first; I have 
configured SDL to use svgalib, so the message from pre7 is coming from sdl 
which is using svgalib.

If I say -vo svga the message is 'using VESA driver' -- and that is because I 
have configured svga to use VESA.  If I say -vo VESA, mplayer won't start even 
though in both previous cases it ends up using VESA.

I went back to 1.0rc1, which disabled the keyboard.  I then modified 
libvo/vo_svga.c and commented out the getch2_disable() line;  the 1.0rc1 then 
runs with the keyboard enabled.

I am now working on the latest version.  A similar patch to vo_svga.c doesn't 
work.  I've reconfigured the package to shut down SDL support, which results in 
mplayer trying and failing to implement fbdev2.
