Thanks! That sounds really like i'am doing something wrong using repeated 
calls of XvPutStill() every 40ms (PAL). So it would work to just call 
XvPutVideo() once. I thought i made it right, as xawtv and mplayer both do
use Still. I tried just to use Video() but it did'nt display anything at all.

Do you have sample code working as described?

Yes, so i thought. But that would mean, that the XServer loads it's data 
directly from the v4l device itself (mmap-io or direct write into AGP-memory?)
The latter should work if the ximage is a contigous array in AGP memory only.

I did load the module and hence xvinfo prints out information on XvPutVideo() 
but still no result.

I tested it with bttv and dvb cards, botht did'nt work as expected, just with 
XvPutStill()

(The v4l-dvb drivers are available at linuxtv.org, maybe someone can find a 
hint in the driver itself)

Can it be, that whether V3K (or VxK) nor Matrox nor NVIDIA can do this?
