-* WHAT IS THIS PLUGIN ABOUT and WHY SHOULD I EVEN CONSIDER TO USE IT? :)
-  
-  This XINE video output plugin uses the so called Teletux  driver which
-  provides special hardware features of the Matrox G400 and  G200  cards
-  like deinterlacing, scaling and YUV data to RGB conversion --- just to
-  name a few.  The plugin makes all those features available to XINE and
-  because all this tasks are done by the graphics card there  is no need
-  for XINE to do them in software -- so you save precious CPU time which
-  you may gonna need for other things. :-)
-  
-  Another feature of this plugin is the  synchronisation  of  the  video
-  picture with the refresh of your screen.  Before you ask why you would
-  need that - here the explanation... :)
-  
-  In order to have an optimal DVD playback the update of the image needs
-  to be syncronized with the refresh of the screen.   Otherwise you will
-  sometimes see part of frame n and part of frame n+1 during an refresh.
-  This results in tearing artefacts on moving objects.
-  
-  When using this plugin the update of the screen is done in the  V-SYNC
-  phase of your screen - and the tearing artefacts are gone forever.
-
-
-* AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
-  
-  The Teletux driver is a module you will  have  to  load  that  makes a
-  special device (/dev/syncfb) available  which is opened by  the plugin
-  and controlled with certain ioctl calls. Quite easy, isn't it? ;)
-
-  That module is based on the mga_vid driver from Aaron Holzmann and was
-  advanced (and reworked) by Matthias Oelmann.
-
-
-* OK I HEARD ENOUGH - HOW DO I INSTALL and USE IT? :)
-
-  First of all you will need to get the Teletux driver itself.      It's
-  available at http://teletux.sourceforge.net.   Once you downloaded it,
-  unpack it to some directory of your choice, please read the README and
-  compile it (a normal "make" should work out-of-the-box). Now there are
-  only a few things left for you to do...
-  
-  1) Become root. Hey now you can take over the world *evil laugh* :-)))
-  2) Create a device called /dev/syncfb  ===>  mknod /dev/syncfb c 178 0
-  3) Copy the file "syncfb.o" to your modules directory (usually this is
-     /lib/modules/YOUR_KERNEL_VERSION/) and do a "depmod -a".
-  
-  This should be it. In order to use the Teletux driver you will have to
-  load it with the command "insmod syncfb.o" - please note that you will
-  have to load it every time you reboot if you wanna use the driver.
-
-  XINE autodetects the driver and automaticly uses this plugin.
-
-  It  is  possible now  that the image during video playback is jerking.
-  This could be caused by the syncronisiation of the  video  image  with
-  your screen refresh. You can easily fix that by switching your monitor
-  to the appropriate refresh rates (50 Hz for PAL, 60 Hz for NTSC).  You
-  will need to add so called modelines to your XFree86  config  to  make
-  those 50 Hz/60 Hz modes available.
-  
-  Here is is a short listing of some sample modelines. Please  add  only
-  those two lines (for NTSC and PAL) which exactly  fit  the  screensize
-  you are running your X Server with. You need to add those lines to the
-  monitor section of your XF86Config file as well as include their names
-  in the screen section  (subsection display of the color depth your are
-  using).
- 
-  USE THE FOLLOWING MODELINES AT YOUR OWN RISK.   THEY COULD DAMAGE YOUR
-  MONITOR PERMANTELY - PLEASE TAKE CAUTION AND DON'T BLAME US.  YOU HAVE
-  BEEN WARNED.
-
-  So much for the standard disclaimer. :)
-
-  Note: If you want to be on the  safe  side,  generate  your  very  own
-        modelines with an application like kvideogen or  use  a  service
-	like http://zaph.com/Modeline/ on the web.
-	
-	Also the modelines may need some fine tuning for your setup. You
-	can use xvidtune (comes with XFree86) to do that.

-  # 1024x768

-    Modeline "1024x768pal"  64.94 1024 1040 1216 1328 768 768 775 802
-    Modeline "1024x768ntsc" 54.32 1024 1040 1216 1328 768 768 774 802

-  # 1280x1024
-    
-    none yet - will be added soon
-
-  So before you run XINE please turn to the appropriate refresh rate and
-  the jerking should be gone.
-
-
-* WHAT SCREENSIZE SHOULD I PREFER?
-  
-  Well. It is important that the screensize  you choose for DVD playback
-  is exactly the same screensize  you're starting up your X Server with.
-  So you shouldn't switch down to 1024x768 if you are  running 1280x1024
-  because that  gives  you  a  virtual  screensize  of  1280x1024  in  a
-  resolution of 1024x768 - and the plugin cannot handle that yet.
-
-  Now back to the question. A screensize of 1024x768 should be it. A DVD
-  is always 720x576 for pal and 720x480 for ntsc. If you've an anamorphe
-  DVD the image only has to be horizontally scaled to get  back  to  the
-  original geometry of 16:9 which is easier to be done.
-
-
-* WHERE IS THE WINDOW A VIDEO IS USUALLY DISPLAYED IN?
-
-  The Teletux driver is writing directly to the video memory of the G400
-  or G200 card and bypasses your X server.   Getting that overlay into a
-  real window isn't as easy as you might think.
-  
-  For now a borderless window is being used which lays under the overlay
-  so you can click on the overlay (for the panel to appear) or issue any
-  command XINE supports by keyboard while you're over the  overlay  with
-  your mouse cursor.
-  
-
-* WHAT IS ON THE TODO LIST?
-  
-  The plugin does not yet activate the hardware deinterlacing.
-  The mouse cursor doesn't disappear yet when it should be disappearing.
-  Prevent the panel from hidding behind the overlay by moving it out of range.
-  Bug fixes, new features and optimizations. :-)
