  packages installed.
- For the GUI you need the libpng and GTK 1.2 development packages.


Before you start...
Unless you know what are you doing, consult DOCS/HTML/en/devices.html#video-dev
to see which driver to use with your video card to get the best quality and
performance. Most cards require special drivers not included with XFree86 to
drive their 2-D video acceleration features like YUV and scaling.

A quick and incomplete list of recommendations:
- ATI cards: Get the GATOS drivers for X11/Xv or use VIDIX.
- Matrox G200/G4x0/G550: Compile and use mga_vid for Linux, on BSD use VIDIX.
- 3dfx Voodoo3/Banshee: Get XFree86 4.2.0+ for Xv or use the tdfxfb driver.
- nVidia cards: Get the X11 driver from www.nvidia.com for Xv support.
- NeoMagic cards: Get an Xv capable driver from our homepage as described in
  DOCS/HTML/en/devices.html#video-dev.

Without accelerated video even an 800MHz P3 may be too slow to play DVDs.
