Xv (the X-Video extension) comes with XFree86 4.x servers.
Whether or not you can use it depends on whether or not your
video card driver supports it. I believe Xine primarily uses
the XvImage functionality of Xv. If you run the app "xvinfo"
(you may already have it) and it reports a line like:
operations supported: PutImage
you most likely have Xv support for Xine to use.
