MPlayer should have frame buffer output built in, or at least the  
version I have on my 6 year old Pentium III does. Just type
mplayer -vo help
and look for a frame buffer output in there. I know that apparently  
my computer had two different kinds (though I could never make either  
work).

Funny, because it should. MPlayer should have been smart enough to  
figure out at compile time that X11 didn't exist, and set default to  
something else it detected when you hit ./configure.

     Because of its continued use as a heating duct sealant, duct  
tape now surrounds us. Time and exposure to high temperatures slowly  
breaks duct tape down, and tiny particles drift into ducts where they  
are eventually carried into the air. And so, duct tape is like God.  
It's everywhere.
