[MPlayer-users] geforce2 and xvidix

[gabor farkas]

no, vidix doesn't work with nvidia cards...

the vidix system is mostly used for ati cards..

you should use xv (=xvideo) output...

i've heard that the default nvidia driver in XFree ( "nv" ) supports
xvideo on geforce boards,

but i recommend you to use the drivers from www.nvidia.com

bye,
gabor
