Re mplayer for -586 with video support.

> The video version plays DVDs with -vo vesa (did not check svga or fbdev)

fbdev also works.  vga=788 when you boot for fullscreen.

On a 19" HP pavilion f1903 LCD monitor every single format had a dialog 
box onscreen telling you the resolution was wrong (while playing at this 
resolution) and svga worked.

svga does not work here.  First I had to load a module then I was told it 
could not find EGA or VGA.  Fails with most LCD screens.

mplayer -ao oss -vo vesa -hardframedrop dvd://1
or -vo fbdev (for framebuffer capable video)

Re flash, Steven had once posted the name of a website that let
you download flv videos without java.  I can't find it now.
