DGA is short for Direct Graphics Access and is a means for a programm to bypass the X-Server and directly modifying the framebuffer memory. Technically spoken this happens by mapping the framebuffer memory into ! the memory range of your process. This is just allowed by the kernel if you have superuser privileges. You can get these either by logging in ! as root or by setting the suid bit on the mplayer excecutable. ! There are two versions of DGA: DGA1 is used by XFree 3.X.X and DGA2 was introduced with XFree 4.0.1. ! DGA1 just provides direct framebuffer access as described above. For switching the resolution of the video signal you have to rely on the XVidMode extension. --- 24,39 ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !
