Maybe I don't understand the structure of this VIDIX stuff but shouldn't
it be possible to detect the overlay on runtime? Thomas Winschhofer's
sisctrl can do it, so your driver should be able to do so to. I don't
wanna sound unfriendly, I'm just not really happy whith having to set an
environment variable when I want to watch a movie.

But shouldn't the xvidix driver be faster? If it directly accesses the
graphics card it should and I'm always heading for speed :-)

I primarily testing/using VIDIX on X11 now, so we kind of complete each
other :-)
