But while I have your collective attention, there's another little issue arisen. I want the Pi to launch directly into mplayer looping the video file fullscreen. In LXTerminal it runs as I want it to if I enter
Code:
mplayer -fs LizardPorn.mp4 -loop 0
I thought all I had to do to run it at boot was to add it at the end of /etc/rc.local , but that doesn't work. Any ideas why not, and how to fix it?

Grand - I didn't have time to do much googling about it last night, but it looks like it supports a touchscreen interface - do you know if it supports the small screens out of the box with an appropriate small screen GUI?
I've been experimenting with a version of Jessie lite (the newer version of Raspbian custom packaged from adafruit with their drivers built in), which has been working well with the screen. I just need a small screen GUI for an MP3 player to go with it.
I've been checking out a few more guides, searching less specific criteria and found this guide where the dude has XBMC running on a (albeit larger) touchscreen in his car. I've not read through the whole thing properly yet, but I'll hopefully be able to cobble something together from his guide tonight.
