Internally map item 'potmeter' onto 'hpotmeter'. Former version of the GUI treated a potmeter very similar to a hpotmeter (the Win32 GUI still does so) and lots of skins are solely using potmeters instead of hpotmeters, although this doesn't make sense at all. The current version of the GUI is treating a potmeter differently, but in order to not break old skins, restore the old behaviour. For the X11/GTK GUI, a potmeter is now simply a hpotmeter with button=NULL and (button)width=(button)height=0. For the Win32 GUI (where skins unfortunately are handled a bit differently and things are more complicated) a potmeter is now a hpotmeter without button but (button)width=(widget)width and (button)height=(widget)height. Additionally, print a legacy information, because the item 'potmeter' is obsolete now and oughtn't be used any longer.

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 details on how to develop a new driver see trunk/DOCS/tech/vidix.txt

IMPORTANT: These are NOT linux kernel drivers. If you are looking for
the mga_vid linux kernel drivers, please cd ../drivers thanks.
