You need to update your XFree86 server with their X driver. I'v done it 
on my hush ;-). It was a simple patch (correct a include path) and 
compile. I used the original RH 9 XFree86 RPM's for this.

If you wish I could try to find the RPM used. Unfortunately it will have 
to wait till wednesday evening. Is that alright for you?

I am also planning to write a VLC decoder plugin on the CLE266, but this 
will take more time.
