I suspect I somehow don't have the ivtv x-driver installed correctly. I am 
using the video-out on my PVR-350 with mythtv. When I play DVDs or videos with 
xine I get "artifacts" (transient lines and other video noise) on the screen 
during high motion scenes. It feels as if  xine is not able to update the 
screen fast enough. I am running xine with:

xine -pfhq -V xshm --no-splash dvd://

But xine won't run if I change the video driver to "-V xv". I am using the 
atrpms package ivtv_xdriver-0.10.6-3.el4.at. I have compiled ivtv 0.4.2 from 
source and have properly renamed the conflicting modules.

In my xorg.conf I have:

Section "Module"
         Load  "dbe"
         Load  "extmod"
         Load  "fbdevhw"
         Load  "glx"
         Load  "record"
         Load  "freetype"
         Load  "type1"
#       Load  "dri"
         Load  "vnc"
#       Load  "v4l" #Video for Linux
EndSection

And a bit later:

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
         Driver      "ivtvdev"
         Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
         BusID "PCI:1:2:0"
EndSection

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I see:

(II) LoadModule: "ivtvdev"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.o
(II) Module ivtv: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
         compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 0.10.0
         ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7

Does anyone have thoughts on how to get xine to play nicely? Should "-V xv" 
work or do you think my problem is elsewhere?

Thanks,
Kirk Bocek
