Re: Getting Xv support into next Redhat release

I grabbed the archive posted here last month and it appears to work, but
the performance isn't what I expected. The movie isn't really watchable (unless 
you actually *like* getting headaches). Running top in an xterm reveals that 
xine and X are fighting it out for the CPU. Both running around the 50% mark.
I've played with the nice values but without luck.

I'm running a 600x (p3-500), and x4.2.0 from source on mdk 8.2.

I don't know what the DVD performance is like in 'doze on this machine, because 
it's never had 'doze installed on it!
