The via driver code that XFree86 ships in 4.5.0 and 4.6.0 does not work 
for XVIDEO
on the CLE266 chip. The Xserver uses 100% CPU time and you have to 
reboot to get
your machine back after Xine starts to play a movie.

The via code from the Unichrome sourceforge project is very stable. I'm 
porting the
unichrome driver to 4.6.0. This code is usually used with Xorg.

You might want to approach the Unichrome author, Luc Verhaegen, for 
permission
to use his code in Xfree86.

There is a another version of the via code called the OpenChrome 
project. But
their code is unstable (and the default in Xorg...).

Oh and the code from via themselves is next to useless and very poorly 
written.
