the nvidia-libvdpau1 / mplayer break now has the fix in smxi fixes.

The fix is fairly easy to run, just requires removing nvidia-libvdpau1 and mplayer packages, then reinstalling mplayer packages, which pull in what they need.

There is a new version of virtualbox 3.1.2 on their downloads page . . but for some reason the pop-up box telling me there is a new version doesn't appear and 'Check for updates' says I have the latest version (which is 3.1)

vbxo 3.1.2 added to svmi

Tweaked colors ( -j 0-4). Now script has usable colors for either light or dark background consoles.

smxi -j 1 is default colors, blue
smxi -j 2 is pale colors, for dark backgrounds
smxi -j 3 is earth colors for either light or dark backgrounds
smxi -j 4 is dark colors, for light backgrounds

To set these permanently, see smxi sticky prefs

These colors should also get inherited by sgfxi / svmi if they are started by smxi.

This is part of the process of moving smxi towards being usable in X, in console. Which may be possible to do for some cases now that the nvidia graphics driver can be reinstalled in X if it's just the module being rebuilt, but I'll wait a bit for this all to settle down.

But I think it's getting close to time to letting smxi get run in X, it will require some work and testing, won't happen soon but I think it will happen in certain cases, we'll see, maybe I'll add in a pre test to the du and see if xorg parts are included, if nvidia driver gets overwritten in X, and a few other things. fglrx users will not be able to use this feature however.
