I heard from many sources, that tdfxfb is not working, so I tried to install
it. CVS version is broken, so I compiled 0.50 with --enable-tdfxfb. I am using
framebuffer all the time (I see no reason to switch it off - 100Hz is
important).
So I:

mplayer -benchmark -vo tdfxfb -frames 500 -nosound blahblahblah.avi

And:
- it works
- results are nice, but -vo fbdev are nice too, probably only difference is
  scaling
- when I use -vc odivx or -vc ffdivx I see MESS on screen

My Great System is linux-2.4.10-ac11, glibc-2.1.3, K6-2 500 and Voodoo3 2000.

Thank you - mplayer developers! No more XFree86 to watch movies! But please fix
non-divxds-tdfxfb problem, and do something with that CVS error.
