SVGAlib section revised EGA support

6498:bcfa390315ea

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

<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.5>2.3.1.5. SVGAlib</A></B></P>

<P>If you don't have X, you can use the SVGAlib target! Be sure not to use the
-fs switch, since it toggles the usage of the software scaler, and it's
SLOOOW now, unless you have a real fast CPU (and/or MTRR?). :(</P>

<P>Of course you'll have to install svgalib and its development package in
order for <B>MPlayer</B> build its SVGAlib driver (autodetected, but can be
forced), and don't forget to edit /etc/vga/libvga.config to suit your
card &amp; monitor.</P>

<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.6>2.3.1.6. Framebuffer output (FBdev)</A></B></P>

<P>Whether to build the FBdev target is autodetected during ./configure .

<P><B><U>Installation</U></B><BR>
  You'll have to install svgalib and its development package in order for
  <B>MPlayer</B> build its SVGAlib driver (autodetected, but can be forced),
  and don't forget to edit /etc/vga/libvga.config to suit your card &amp;
  monitor.</P>

<P><B><U>Notes</U></B><BR>
  Be sure not to use the -fs switch, since it toggles the usage of the software
  scaler, and it's slow. If you really need it, use the <CODE>-sws 4</CODE>
  option which will produce bad quality, but is somewhat faster.</P>

<P><B><U>EGA (4bpp) support</U></B><BR>
  SVGAlib incorporates EGAlib, and <B>MPlayer</B> has the possibility to
  display any movie in 16 colors, thus usable in the following sets:</P>

<UL>
  <LI>EGA card with EGA monitor: 320x200x4bpp, 640x200x4bpp, 640x350x4bpp</LI>
  <LI>EGA card with CGA monitor: 320x200x4bpp, 640x200x4bpp</LI>
</UL>

<P>The bpp (bits per pixel) value must be set to 4 by hand:<BR>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-bpp 4</CODE><BR>
  The movie probably must be scaled down to fit in EGA mode:<BR>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-vop scale=640:350</CODE> or<BR>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-vop scale=320:200</CODE><BR>
  For that we need fast but bad quality scaling routine:<BR>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-sws 4</CODE><BR>
  Maybe automatic aspect correction has to be shut off:<BR>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-noaspect</CODE><BR>
