There are several possible backgrounds including solid black.

How do I use Xvesa without a window manager, with mplayer? On my newest
computer, with four video cards, vesa, svga, and cvidix do not work at all
(or very badly - cvidix is transparent). fbdev works but my best video
card (like all Nvidia cards) does xfbdev in blue on blue and fbdev in
black on black. I want a command-line script including 'mplayer -slang en
-framedrop dvd://1-5). (I will put oss and x11 in the config file).
DVDs play at 720x540 or so resolution. Some video cards can match that,
otherwise I use 800x600 and it is not full-screen, which gives you a
colored edge with stuff in it, when used with wm. Ratpoison at least
provides a white background.
