I used to use a computer with this card. Sometimes some distros don't do xv by default with it, I'm not sure why. Right now that machine's got Xv on Mandrake 9.0 (Some older XFree version). It should work "out of the box". When it runs, it's a decent card. It does video fairly well. Not comparable to an Nvidia or Ati.. But definitely not worth replacing if you're only watching video. I've forgotten the xorg.conf settings, but compare your xorg.conf to others via google.
