[MPlayer-users] Success Report: Dedicated DivX-Player w/TV-Out

[justin case]

ah, you're done.. i'm still working on it. i _do_ insist on
framebuffer-usae, though, just for doing it ;)

i had some trouble building this vga-interface. do you have any
_working_ odelines for frambuffers? i would appreciate.
