Run xvinfo to see if the driver actually has Xv support. I recall that some Mach64 cards only have that in the GATOS drivers, and at least in XFree86 there was no working Xv out of the box. This may have changed though, or may not apply to your hardware. Even with Xv that card is not too good, but you are pretty much out of options without an AGP slot (I guess your machine doesn't have one because of the integrated chip). Good PCI cards are more expensive than their AGP counterparts and the slower bus may be bad for performance. DirectFB could be an option too if it has video overlay support for your card. --Niko Mikkil?
