Interesting, when I ran into the problem it was with the i386 port so that
may make a difference. I had assumed that the AMD64 port would have the
same limitations since it's a video thing but maybe that's not true. If I
get a chance I'll try switching this machine over to the nv driver and see
if Xv output in mplayer works, although it's a completely different machine
so it won't be a very good test but I'd still be interested in knowing if
it works or not.
Jim.
