10000l, the old code was slow as hell, copying stuff extra times and actually broken -- blanking the whole screen at each 'page flip' with -dr enabled. benchmarks: before: 56% cpu for decode 56% cpu for vo with no -dr 25% cpu for vo with -dr after: 56% cpu for decode 25% cpu for vo without -dr 0% cpu for vo with -dr if vo_fbdev is going to do pageflip, it needs to do it for REAL, using vertical scroll registers (like g2), not copying a temp buffer (which will shear anyway and is super-slow).

VIDIX - Video Interface for *niX.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This library was designed and introduced as interface to userspace drivers
to provide DGA everywhere where it's possible (unline X11).
I hope that these drivers will be portable same as X11 (not only on *nix).

For detail on how to develop new driver see main/DOCS/tech/vidix.txt
