When I use a new install, at least build-essential, git and yasm is 
missing, so ./configure fails.

I've played 800x600 at 30 on framebuffer, but I wouldn't expect much more 
than that.

On a matrox G550, using -vo mga I've been playing 1680x1050 at 30 with a 
1.2GHz cpu. It strongly depends on the graphics card what's possible on 
the console or framebuffer...
