I'm running an AMD64 3000+ with 2 gigs of ram and an ATI Radeon X300.
It's dropping frames on internet TV sites where it should easily be able
to keep up. I've built mplayer with mmx/mmxext/3dnow/3dnowext/sse/sse2
so I don't see any room for speedup there. I can get "-vo sdl" and
"-vo xv" to work, but not "-vo radeon_vid". As a matter of fact, I
can't find any vidix modules at all. They're simply not being built.
Here's the output of "emerge -pv mplayer".

For some reason the video card shows up twice in hardware detection.
Does this have any affect on X Window speed? Here's output from "cat
/proc/pci"...
