Well, maybe... but the OP's requirement of "official GNU packages only,
from official GNU repos" is *seriously* restrictive.

You can't use the stock Linux kernel - you have to use GNU's libre-
linux fork, which drops a lot of hardware support. You can't mount
filesystems (mount is provided by util-linux). You can't set up
networking (no net-tools or iproute2). Populating /dev, you'll have to
do the old fashioned way - scripts running mknod - since you can't have
either systemd or any of the udev alternatives. I think that's the
important issues, but I might have missed a few...

So if you can get around that, sure, you can watch movies in the
framebuffer. Well, at least, if you can find an app that can do it...
do GNU have any video player apps, framebuffer libraries, or video
codecs? I'm not aware of any.

Simon.
