Yes, removing the StreamsOn calls fixed it. BTW, your last XV commit had
a positive effect on the glxgears frame rate on ProSavageDDR so I
thought streams were disabled by default now. But on Savage4 the frame
rate didn't change. Weird.

There is another problem with Xv that may be related. After mode
switches mplayer only shows the color key. Restarting/reinitializing X
is the only way to get Xv back.

Thanks for the pointer. Tried it on Savage 4 and ProSavageDDR. Both have
problems with upscaling with vertical interpolation. On the bigger
screen on the Savage4 artifacts are generally more noticable. They also
seem to depend on the original movie size. Some movies look fine in
their original resolution, others are messed up but look ok as soon as I
make the window only one pixel smaller.

On the ProSavageDDR I got a hard lockup when I tried to play a real big
movie (858x774) and Option "BCIforXv" "on". It displayed garbage first
and after a while it only showed the color key and was frozen. Once I
could log in remotely early enough to try to kill mplayer. kill -5
didn't have any effect, kill -9 made it lock up hard again.
