-dfbmga
- Matrox G400/G450/G550 specific video output driver that uses the DirectFB
- library to make use of special hardware features. Enables CRTC2 (second
- head), displaying video independently of the first head.
-
- (no-)input
- same as directfb (default: disabled)
- buffermode=single|double|triple
- same as directfb (default: triple)
- fieldparity=top|bottom
- same as directfb
- (no-)bes
- Enable the use of the Matrox BES (backend scaler) (default: disabled).
- Gives very good results concerning speed and output quality as
- interpolated picture processing is done in hardware. Works only on the
- primary head.
- (no-)spic
- Make use of the Matrox sub picture layer to display the OSD (default:
- enabled).
- (no-)crtc2
- Turn on TV-out on the second head (default: enabled). The output
- quality is amazing as it is a full interlaced picture with proper sync
- to every odd/even field.
- tvnorm=pal|ntsc|auto
- Will set the TV norm of the Matrox card without the need for modifying
- ``/etc/directfbrc`` (default: disabled). Valid norms are pal = PAL,
- ntsc = NTSC. Special norm is auto (auto-adjust using PAL/NTSC) because
- it decides which norm to use by looking at the framerate of the movie.

-mga (Linux only)
- Matrox specific video output driver that makes use of the YUV back end
- scaler on Gxxx cards through a kernel module. If you have a Matrox card,
- this is the fastest option.

-s3fb (Linux only) (see also ``--dr``)
- S3 Virge specific video output driver. This driver supports the card's YUV
- conversion and scaling, double buffering and direct rendering features.
- Use ``--vf=format=yuy2`` to get hardware-accelerated YUY2 rendering, which
- is much faster than YV12 on this card.
