One workaround, albeit a cheesy one, is to just run in X11 fs mode and
then just CTRL-ALT-- to a lower res to make the image appear larger.  

Are you sure that SDL compiled OK? Check the output when you run
./configure to see if SDL is flagged properly.  Do you have the correct
libsdl development packages/files installed? Also, try playing the movie
as root to see if that makes a difference.  Could be a permissions
problem...
