!  DGA is short for Direct Graphics Access and is a means for a programm to
   bypass the X-Server and directly modifying the framebuffer memory. 
   Technically spoken this happens by mapping the framebuffer memory into
   the memory range of your process. This is just allowed by the kernel
   if you have superuser privileges. You can get these either by logging in 
!  as root or by setting the suid bit on the mplayer excecutable.

  MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX. It plays most mpeg, avi and asf files,
! supported by many native and win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VCD, DVD and
! even DivX movies too. The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range
! of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib,
! fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL) and some 
! lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox/3dfx/SiS) too! Most of them
! supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.
! And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (.sub files) with
! hungarian, english, cyrillic, czech, korean fonts, and OSD?
