Sorry to post more than one message on the same subject. But just to clarify, I figured that I could have the X libs and stuff install= ed with the video codec, then start the movie playing from the console and mplayer could just access the video codec? So in other words, to start th= e movie playing with audio and video without sighted assistance? Because th= en I would have to try to help them through X, and naturally I have no clue what the layout of the screen is!
