Is this 24 bpp with 3 bytes or 24 bpp with 4 bytes ?
Output of xdpyinfo will clear this.

Yes. Video is in fourcc YV12 and vdr OSD is RGB via lookup table.

Yes.
And that way, mixing an OSD converted to YV12 color space with YV12 video
(OSD drawing set to software) works with Matrox, Radeon and
VIA-Unichrome with "-vo xv:". In case of Radeon (mentioned as my 
current setup) our OSD mixing method works with "-vo vidix:" too.

So its either a choice of software or hardware :-( .
software: use vdr-xine or xinelibout,
hardware: use cards that work: matrox, radeon, Unichrome or savage (with a small
change which is a work-around of a driver bug: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg06044.html )
