Subject: [gentoo-user] Xorg / Rage128 accelerated TV Out

1 Hi folks!
2
3 I`m currently turning one of my boxes into a cd/dvd/mp3/whatever-player.
4 I already installed freevo, mplayer, xine and everything, and it works
5 great.
6
7 The only problem is: the TV-Out of the used Rage128 only works with the
8 standard Vesa-driver. When playing low-res files such as vcd this is not
9 much of a problem. But when i try to play a dvd the cpu-usage climbs up
10 to 100% due to software scaling, which is not really acceptable for an
11 xp 2000+...
12
13 So here is my Question:
14 Does anyone know how to use an accelerated driver with the TV-Out of my
15 card?

17 relevant system specs:
