IIRC x11 is unscalable output. I use the best one -vo mga,
but if you ain't got matrox (g200,g400,g450) it wont do much help.
There is such direct driver for 3dfx also.
But you need to create device (/dev/mga_vid) in order to ./configure
detect that your hardware can do such things.

Best bet is xv output - many cards support this (even quite old S3's)
xvinfo command will tell you what your hardware can do.
XV supports both hardware scaling and yuv-y color conversion so you'll be
very happy with that. Newer SDL (>1.1.7 i think ) also supports hardware
scaling using xv.

Now that's the question that drives us;)
I would like to hear something on that - my  glxinfo keeps telling me that 
my GL i software-only, and that's probably because of drivers for mga, but
maybe just because i'm lame?

Uh, and why didn't you tell us what is Your hardware and software??
(uname -a,X version etc)
