Arrrg.
I remembered that I didn't have nvidia,
but I remembered the wrong name.
I'm on my third video card.
The first was a radeon.
After I zapped that one, I had it replaced with
an nvidia card because it had AGP and I could find it.
Having cooked or otherwise damaged that one,
I replaced it with a VisionTek Radeon HD 3650.
Again was the AGP card I could find.
I suspect that a Radeon wouldn't play well with a *nvidia.so .

Yup.
As noted above, I remembered the wrong name.
By the time I got around to posting a message,
my brain was too scrambled to take the hint.

I'm at work, so I don't know for sure,
Somewhere I think a saw a statement that mplayer would use a built-in list.
The list was not specified.

Thank you for your help and your patience.
