You won't be able to play DIVX through the TV-out of you DXR3 card,
because your machine is to weak. It has to encode DIVX to a MPEG-2 stream
realtime. The minimum processor for this purpose is, as far as I remember,
a PIII-800 or Athlon or a Duron 1GHz.

Sorry, I can't say anything about how to use DXR3 as primary watching
device, but I would be interested in a solution, too.
