Why didn't anyone tell me when i added this check?

Anyways. This mail belongs to -matrox as i don't have
the time to scan -dev-eng regularly for intersting stuff
these days. But -matrox is low traffic enough to watch
closely. Fup2 mplayer-matrox

Wrong tree. Have you read the README.linux.2,6 in there?
It states (more or less) clearly that this tree is outdated.
And i would really like that noone touches it (unless there
is really a need for it)

There are two places to change. The mga_vid driver in
svn.mplayerhq.hu/mga_vid/mga_vid/trunk/ and the check
in libvo/mga_common.c. See my last change there.

But, there need to be a way to tell MPlayer that the
card cannot play >1024 resolution, so that MPlayer can
tell the user. I am not sure whether the current driver
ioctl protocol supports this. But this is a must from my
side for the patch to be appliable

BTW: if you want me to apply it, you have to finish
it until next friday noon (CET) or it'll have to wait
until next year.
