it has hardware VSYNC support with triple buffering. It works on both

WARNING: on non-Linux systems, use VIDIX for - mga_vid!
+NOTE: This is Linux only! On non-Linux (tested on FreeBSD) systems, + you can use VIDIX instead!
Installation:
- Warning: security risk+
- Unfortunately you must have root privileges to use VIDIX - due to direct hardware access. At least the SUID bit on the - MPlayer executable must be set. -
Since VIDIX requires direct hardware access you can either run it as root or + set the SUID bit on the MPlayer binary (Warning: This is a security + risk!). Alternatively, you can use a special kernel module, like this:
+ +svgalib-1.9.17/kernel/svgalib_helper
directory to
+ mplayer/main/libdha/svgalib_helper
. svgalib_helper
directory and
+ insmod it.Currently most ATI cards are supported natively, from Mach64 to the newest + Radeons.
+ +There are two compiled binaries: radeon_vid
for Radeon and
+ rage128_vid
for Rage 128 cards. You may force one or let the
+ VIDIX system autoprobe all available drivers.
Matrox G200,G400,G450 and G550 have been reported to work.
+ +The driver supports video equalizers and should be nearly as fast as the + Matrox framebuffer.
+ + +There is a driver available for the Trident Cyberblade/i1 chipset, which + can be found on VIA Epia motherboards.
+ +The driver was written and is maintained by Alastair M. Robinson, who offers + the very latest driver versions for download from his + homepage. + The drivers are added to MPlayer with only a short delay, so CVS should always + be up to date.
+ + +Although there is a driver for the 3DLabs GLINT R3 and Permedia3 chips, + no one has tested it, so reports are welcome.
