That is a very good point -- I think it would be pretty easy to add
dma transfer support tp mga_vid/vidix/fbdev. I think SDL (which is
actually readable code unlike xf86) has support for dma accelerated
blits to video mem, at least on matrox and perhaps riva, so I was
planning to take a look at that source sometime and see how feasible
it looks to mimic in mplayer.
