	Yes, mga_vid works, but only on first_head. I've set 

matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -m 2
matroxset -f /dev/fb1 1

then 

export FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1
mplayer -vo mga -dvd /dev/cdrom

but it gets drawn on the first head, do I have to set any parameters to
the mga_vid in order to make it work on the second head?

	Also syncfb main feature (syncrhonize with monitor freq) doesn't
seem to be implemented on mga_vid.

	No rest! everybody start working NOW! ;-D

	I'm polishing the DVD support but, I've found some problems, I
don't know if they are related to the demuxers routines because some
chapters of the DVD won't play, it seems that they are not recognized as
MPEG streams, but I have to check if it is my problem, maybe these
chapters aren't decrypted correctly. Also LIRC improved support for DVD is
already done.
