To play videos with out going to X (with mplayer) you'll need to use the framebuffer or the SVGA lib as output. Using: mplayer -vo fbdev file.mpg or: mplayer -vo svga file.mpg should work from the console. mplayer -vo help gives a list of the available video output drivers. I'm not sure about other media players. Rabin -- Rabin Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
