 <b>What are minuses:</b><BR>
  - It works only on <b>x86 systems</b>.<BR>
  - <b>It's the slowest driver</b> from all the available ones for MPlayer.<BR>
+   (But only if your card doesn't support <b>DGA mode</b> - otherwise this    
+   driver is comparable by speed with <b>-vo dga</b> and <b>-vo fbdev</b> ones.<BR>
+
  - It can be used only by <b>ROOT</b>.<BR>
  - Currently it's available only for <b>Linux</b>.<BR>
  - It <b>doesn't use</b> any <b>hardware accelerations</b> (like YUV overlay or hw scaling).<BR>

 limitations on which video mode can be displayed on your TV (like on other
 cards) so you can use <b>any video mode</b> on your <b>TV</b> (from
 <b>320x200</b> up to <b>1024x768</b>).<br>
+From other side (it's known at least for <b>Radeons</b>) there is <b>DGA</b>
+mode which is detected automatically and in this case you'll get comparable
+with <b>-vo dga</b> and <b>-vo fbdev</b> drivers speed.<br>
 Only thing you need to do - <b>have TV connector plugged in before booting your
 PC</b> since video BIOS initializes itself only once during POST procedure.
