Have you set up the USE flag - cle266?
And some suggested other USE flags - xvmc, xv, xvid, dga, sse, mmx?
(sse and mmx if you've got the VIA Nehemiah cpu.)

And why the 2.4.x kernel? The 2.6 series will give better performance,
as well as having a better scheduler. digital media really wants a
realtime - as in a 1 ms, response setup. So things like - XFS filesystem
with realtime turned on and a real time scheduler.
And btw - are you sure you have Unichrome Gfx? What does - lspci give you?
I ask as the system here shows Castle Rock Gfx -
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo
CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics (rev 03)
Thus my xorg config file is setup thusly -
Section "Device"
Identifier "VIA Castlerock"
Driver "vesa"
#VideoRam 65536
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
