   Unfortunately you must have root privileges to use VIDIX

      2.3.1.12.1 ATI cards
      
+
+
      Currently most of the ATI cards are natively supported, starting from Mach64
+  and ending at the newest Radeons.
      
+
+
      There are two compiled binaries: radeon_vid and rage128_vid, as their
+  name states, they are for different cores, and so you can force it, anyway,
+  the VIDIX system autoprobes all the available drivers and tries to find a
+  supported card.

+
      2.3.1.12.2 Matrox cards
      
+
+
      Matrox G200,G400,G450 and G550 are reported as working.
      
+
+
      The driver supports video equalizers too and should be nearly so fast as
+  the Matrox framebuffer.
      
+
+
+
      2.3.1.12.3 Trident cards
      
+
+
      There is a driver available for the Trident Cyberblade/i1 chipset, which
+  can be found on the VIA Epia motherboards.
      
+
+
      The driver was written and is maintained by Alastair M. Robinson.
      
+
+
      You can find sometimes updated drivers on his
+  homepage,
+  but usually we sync the sources, so at least the CVS versions should be
+  always up-to-date.

      2.3.1.12.4 3DLabs cards

+
      Altought there's a driver for the 3DLabs GLINT R3 and Permedia3 chips,
+  noone has tested it, so reports are awaited.
