Voodoo3 & XVideo

I have had the same problem although I am using xine rather than videolan.  
I.m using SuSE 7.2 on a p111 with 374m ram. I have a Vodoo 3 2000.  I have 
just updated to xfree 4.1.0 and installed xine 4.3 and hey presto xv now 
works. You may want to try xfree 4.1.0 and see if that fixes it.

FWIW xawtv and kwintv have always worked her since SuSE 6.0.
