So it didn't work at all. I got a quite nice picture when using Vidix, but the OSD in pseudo OSD mode was not visible, I asume due to incorrect colorkey handling in the vidix drivers. I think software OSD blending worked. Also the X11 drivers for the Mach64 I can't recommend, I never got a picture due to lacking Xv support. So I fear that the Mach64 is not the best choice for use with the softdevice :-(. I currently use a Rage128Pro with Xv out, this combination works really nice for me. If you want to use DirectFB, as far as I know a Matrox or a Unichrome is the best choice. Martin
