The reason why mplayer crashes (in some cases) when using x11 output and -wid (>0) parameter is this: Mplayer by default creates a colormap using DirectColor visual. If the window given to mplayer uses TrueColor visual there will be an error when mplayer sets the colormap for the window. This patch modifies mplayer to use TrueColor visual if the window given to mplayer uses TrueColor. Another solution is to make sure that the window given to mplayer is created using DirectColor visual if it is supported by the display. Jouni Tulkki <jitulkki@cc.hut.fi>

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
