 The DXR3 and Hollywood+ are two not too different mpeg-(1/2) and ac3

 2. Requirements
 
- * First of all you will need the DXR3/H+ drivers properly installed,
-   including the dev-api.
-   These can be downloaded from dxr3.sourceforge.net (I suggest using
-   the CVS version since most of the time I use the latest features
-   which are only available through cvs)
+ * First of all you will need the DXR3/H+ drivers properly installed.
+   Version 0.9.0 or later
 
- * Second, if you want to be able to play back anything other than 
-   mpeg12 (vcd/dvd) through your dxr3 you need to install RTE from 
-   zapping.sourceforge.net compile and install it BEFORE running 
-   configure in the mplayer dir. With RTE you should be able to play
-   any movie supported by MPlayer.
-   
- * Run <mplayerdir>/configure and make sure that DXR3/H+ support =yes
-   and optionally that mp1e rte = yes, if it's = no, please mail me
-   your configure.log and I'll fix it.
+ * Run <mplayerdir>/configure and make sure that DXR3/H+ support = yes
    
  From here on compilation (of at least my code ;) should go without any
  problems.

 No "-vc <codec>" switches should be required as mplayer will autodetect.
 If you find an unsupported codec please contact me!
 
+* Avoid running mplayer as root or setuid root as rtc timing seems to
+  slow down playback on the dxr3 for some users. I will look into this
+  at a later point as this hardly qualifies as a severe bug *
