Support for most things related to MPEG weren't included in RH8 or 9 for
legal reasons, check redhat.com.  You can still install this support
after you get everything installed, check out freshrpms.net.  I can
currently watch/listen 99% of the video and audio formats out there with
mplayer or gstreamer using the rpm's from that site, as well as a few
found elsewhere...  (Google helps to find them)

To my knowledge, RH does have a framebuffer driver... in XFree86.  Don't
know why you'd need it unless you have problems finding a driver for you
video card, as the performance drops when using framebuffer.  (At least
it's been that way when I use it)  If you're talking about something
else though, please be more specific.  :)
