Got it -- in Debian, it's part of the fbset package.

That would be awesome -- the ability to play movies in the framebuffer
was the first reason I wanted it, since it would drain the batteries less
than running movies in KDE.

For some reason, fbxine has stopped working altogether -- I've tried to 
reconstruct
the environment in which it worked, but now it just displays the 
previous console
page and exits. fbi works great -- slideshows, autoscaling, rotation, 
the works.

I'll test mplayer again too -- it sounds like this may be an mplayer 
problem.

The main remaining annoyance is that you can't remove the rivafb module, 
so you
have to reboot to let the nv or nvidia module take over.

Cheers,
