-  It's recommended to use the binary nVidia drivers for X before using this

-  Currently only codecs capable of UYVY colorspace output

-  every single decoder from the

-  <systemitem>cvid, divxds, xvid, divx4, wmv7, wmv8</systemitem> and some

   An unique feature of the nvidia_vid driver is its ability to display video on
   <emphasis role="bold">plain, pure, text-only console</emphasis> - with no
   framebuffer or X magic whatsoever. For this purpose, we'll have to use the
   <option>cvidix</option> video output, as the following example shows:
