!  DGA is short for Direct Graphics Access and is a means for a programm to
   bypass the X-Server and directly modifying the framebuffer memory. 
   Technically spoken this happens by mapping the framebuffer memory into
!  the memory range of your process. This is just allowed by the kernel
   if you have superuser privileges. You can get these either by logging in 
!  as root or by setting the suid bit on the mplayer excecutable.
  
!  There are two versions of DGA: DGA1 is used by XFree 3.X.X and DGA2 was 
   introduced with XFree 4.0.1.
  
!  DGA1 just provides direct framebuffer access as described above. For 
   switching the resolution of the video signal you have to rely on the 
   XVidMode extension.

   Those are defined by so-called modelines and depend on the capabilites
   of your video hardware. The XServer scans this config file on startup and
!  disables those modelines not suitable for your hardware. You can find 
   out which modes survive with the X11 log file. It can be found at:
!  /var/log/XFree86.0.log (on Debian systems ... :-) )
   See appendix A for some sample modeline definitions.
