Yep, i agree on that point.

Useless. The chip only got used in that one adapter and there is no

You may get smooth DVD playback, but not at the full resolution. First m=

with the vesa driver. Get mplayer with libavcodec enabled. Try playback
with the parameters:

mplayer dvd://1 -lavdopts fast:lowres=3D3 -fs

test the parameters "-vo xv" or "-vo xover" or even "-vo tdfxfb" / "-vo =
 =

tdfx_vid".
The last 2 do not use X and will probably need a FB-device. I'm not sure=

if that
tridentcard is supported by the mplayer trident driver.
