Theoretically it should be possible to port mplayer's vidix using access to graphics card memory with device files (I don't remember exact files, but there was at least one which allowed to even write pci drivers as filesystems if one wanted to...) Integrating it with rio would be much tougher, but I think that at least vesa driver should be pretty easy to port, considering one finds a suitable way to return control to rio (like the need for "reset" on linux vt after using mplayer's -vo vesa). > -- > Conquering the galaxy is what bacteria with spaceships would do -- > knowing no better, having no choice. > -- Greg Egan, "Diaspora" (about alien invasion stories) > -- Paul Lasek
