Is there a good overview document that describes all these kinds of drivers?
vesa, framebuffer, vidix, etc. I'm curious not just from a MPlayer point of
view, but in general. For instance if one was to write another type of media
player, how do the modes compare in terms of ease of programming,
performance, features (scan rates, pixel depth, etc)?

TIA,
