*** 246,247 ****
--- 246,255 ----
     the number of buffers in libvo/vo_xv.c :
     Increase #define NUM_BUFFERS 1
+ 
+ Q: What's the problem with gcc 2.96 ?
+ A: gcc 2.96 is RedHat's UNOFFICIAL (it can be found only on RedHat sites, or
+    RedHat distributions) and BUGGY gcc release. gcc 2.96 is TOTALLY
+    unsupported by MPlayer, because it simply SKIPS MMX codes, it just does not
+    compile it. Important: this is NOT an MPlayer-specific problem, numerous
+    other projects (DRI, avifile, etc..) have problems with this shit too.
+    ** DO NOT USE gcc 2.96 !!! **

+   b, The GATOS driver (for ATI cards) has VSYNC enabled by default. It means
+      that decoding speed (!) is synced to the monitor's refresh rate. If
+      playing seems to be slow, try disabling VSYNC somehow, or set refresh
+      rate to n*(fps of the movie) Hz.
