Radeons.</P>
<P>There are two compiled binaries: <CODE>radeon_vid</CODE> for Radeon and

<P>There is a driver available for the Trident Cyberblade/i1 chipset, which
can be found on VIA Epia motherboards.</P>
<P>The driver was written and is maintained by Alastair M. Robinson, who offers
the very latest driver versions for download from his
<A HREF="http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/EPIAVidix.shtml">homepage</A>.
The drivers are added to MPlayer with only a short delay, so CVS should always
be up to date.</P>

<P>Although there is a driver for the 3DLabs GLINT R3 and Permedia3 chips,
no one has tested it, so reports are welcome.</P>
