   <B>Q: What about DGA driver? I can't find it!!!
   </B>A: ./configure autodetects your DGA driver. If -vo help doesn't show
      DGA, then there's a problem with your X installation.

   </B>A: What are you doing on Linux? Can't you install a library? Why do
     we get these questions? It's not <B>MPlayer</B> specific at all! Add
     /usr/local/lib to <B>/etc/ld.so.conf</B> and run <B>ldconfig</B> .
     Or install it to /usr/lib , because if you can't solve the /usr/local
     problem, you are careless enough to do such things.

   </B>A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, but XF86VidMode support is now
      used: you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done.

      It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works too, use that, it'll be EVEN
