updates, fixes

7639:bec7bdad9976

<P>S3 Savage3D's should work fine, but for Savage4, use XFree86 version 4.0.3
  or greater (in case of image problems, try 16bpp). As for S3 Virge.. there is
  xv support, but the card itself is very slow, so you better sell it.</P>

<P><B>NOTE</B>: Savage cards have a slow YV12 image displaying capability (it
  needs to do YV12 to YUY2 conversion, because the Savage hardware can't display
  YV12). So when this documentation says at some point "this has YV12 output
  use this, it's faster", it's not sure. Try
  <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/contrib/Savage-driver/savage_drv.o.mmx2.bz2">this
  driver</A>, it uses MMX2 for this task and is faster than the native X
  driver.</P>

<H5><A NAME="xv_trident">2.3.1.2.6 Trident cards</A></H5>

<P>If you want to use xv with a trident card, provided that it doesn't
  work with 4.1.0, try the latest CVS of XFree or wait for XFree 4.2.0.
  The latest CVS adds support for fullscreen xv support with the
  Cyberblade XP card.</P>

    It's bug in SDL, I can't change it (tested with SDL 1.2.1).</LI>

    rate, interlacing, doublescan and so on. Samples: i43, 85, d100)</DD>

<P><B>NOTE</B>: it's currently unclear which Savage models lack YV12 support,
  and convert by driver (slow). If you suspect your card, get a newer driver,
  or ask politely on the mplayer-users mailing list for an MMX/3DNow enabled
  driver.</P>
