Václav, hi.

My /usr/local/lib/vlc/video_output directory contains
(lib)x11(_plugin.so), and similarly for glx, image, xvideo, and fb,
while my video_filter directory contains things like
(lib)clone(_plugin.so), crop, transform, and magnify.

Running with --vout-filter x11 says no video filter module matched
"x11" and that there is no suitable vout module, while running with
--vout x11 complains about fb as in my original mail.

I'm still confused.  :-(

I have noticed that the X11, Xext, and Xvideo libraries show on ldd of
libxvideo_plugin.so, but not of vlc itself. If this is relevant, what
can I do about it?
