	enable-3dfx is to use the 3dfx framebuffer device (ie. graphic console) wich
	can't be used with X11 on the same time on the same card. This output driver
	is for console mode.

	The device you try to use don't support the video format outputed by the codec.
	There is different formats (RGB, YUY2, YV12, etc) and the output driver you choose
	should be able to handlle this format in order to display it. Try another output driver (sdl,x11).
