AAlib and SDL are not really necessary. But X11 is very handy to have.
Is vesa listed among the "mplayer -vo help" output?

What good is SDL if you have X11? SDL is slower anyway.

It looks like a switch to uClibc may be necessary to keep the file size
in check (and help with the networking problems).
