-<P>If you don't have X, you can use the SVGAlib target! Be sure not to use the
--fs switch, since it toggles the usage of the software scaler, and it's
-SLOOOW now, unless you have a real fast CPU (and/or MTRR?). :(</P>

+<P><B><U>Notes</U></B><BR>
+  Be sure not to use the -fs switch, since it toggles the usage of the software
+  scaler, and it's slow. If you really need it, use the <CODE>-sws 4</CODE>
+  option which will produce bad quality, but is somewhat faster.</P>
+
+<P><B><U>EGA (4bpp) support</U></B><BR>
+  SVGAlib incorporates EGAlib, and <B>MPlayer</B> has the possibility to
+  display any movie in 16 colors, thus usable in the following sets:</P>
+
+<UL>
+  <LI>EGA card with EGA monitor: 320x200x4bpp, 640x200x4bpp, 640x350x4bpp</LI>
+  <LI>EGA card with CGA monitor: 320x200x4bpp, 640x200x4bpp</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>The bpp (bits per pixel) value must be set to 4 by hand:<BR>
+  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-bpp 4</CODE><BR>
+  The movie probably must be scaled down to fit in EGA mode:<BR>
+  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-vop scale=640:350</CODE> or<BR>
+  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-vop scale=320:200</CODE><BR>
+  For that we need fast but bad quality scaling routine:<BR>
+  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-sws 4</CODE><BR>
+  Maybe automatic aspect correction has to be shut off:<BR>
+  &nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>-noaspect</CODE><BR>
