Hmm.... Don't know about the divx/mp3 support thingy. I installed
Mplayer/plugins/codecs on suse 10.0 via YaST2 from the Packman
repository all in one shot. As a side note, I now have the file playing
on suse 10.0/Mplayer. Merely had to select "x11 x11 (XImage/shm)" on the
Video tab under preferences & it took right off :-)
