What do you mean by that? For example, my new Radeon 9800 card uses DRI,
but gl2 performs good. gl is worse; it doesn't support osd, ignores
aspect in fullscreen and works with the same speed.

Unfortunately, it isn't supported by vidix. Oh well, maybe just adding
its id will help; I'll try this right now.
