But = just to clarify, I figured that I could have the X libs and stuff = installed 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 the movie playing with audio and video without sighted = assistance? Because then I would have to try to help them through X, and = naturally I have no clue what the layout of the screen is!
