   This basically means that SDL couldn't open a window. Maybe check
another little SDL program to see if it's an SDL installation problem.

   If SDL doesn't work, try to launch vlc with the "-V x11" option. If
your video card is supported by XVideo, you can also configure with
--enable-xvideo and run vlc with "-V xvideo". They'll offer about the
same performances as SDL, but no fullscreen support for instance.
