Very jittery video - any solutions?

[Rich Birch]

I wouldn't bother with glide. If you have a voodoo3 then the xvideo output 
should work fine. I have voodoo3 2000 on a PIII 500, redhat 7.2 and vlc runs 
as smooth as anything using XVideo. SDL used to work great as well but seems 
to be broken for me in the 0.2.92pre1 release.
So my system is nearly identical to yours apart from me having a slight 
advantage on the processor front. I seem to remember vlc skipping from time 
to time in a recent version, but it's ok for me now. Which version are you 
using?
