things seem to work a bit better (=work) when I use a file and when I don't do 
something that uses the display (halt, mencoder)
man seems to suggest that it might be necessary to specify a display adapter 
(?) but doesnt' mention how.
Still not entirely sure I'm not missing the point a bit. Would it help if I 
specified the adapter at the command? ie. mplayer -vo x11 
/mnt/Movies/TheMatrix.avi (or whatever the actual command is...)
cheers
