So the situation is:
1) fixes in branch not present in mplayer
2) fixes in mplayer not present in branch

Now this is more difficult than I thought. I firstly thought I could do 
away with mplayer version.

So the way is start just before the branch, and see the cvs changes in 
both trees in chronological order merging them until all commits are 
merged.

I am not able to do that, I don't know enough about my cards internals.

Who was the original writer of vidix?
