Speaking of which, was there an RPM for that MPlayer plug-in in some
apt repository somewhere, or am I dreaming?

I'm not toying with Xandros any time soon; I have machines coming out
of my ears, but I'm running a little tight on disk for them to use.

In any case, I'm certain that it has something to do with the XFree86
RPMs in Fedora, but I'm not willing to compile and install X myself on
my only workstation to test this.

Call me a wuss, but the source code for X11 just... really scares me.

Oh, if anyone is even /remotely/ curious, I have a Radeon 8500LE
(R200) with 64MB of DDR, and with the dualhead config I had in RH9, X
found the screens just fine and worked as expected, but I haven't been
able to get things working since the upgrade.
