You'd guess that, but alas, you'd be wrong... =)
There's a bug in XF 4.0.X that causes Xv not to work with the Voodoo3
card. I can't find the darn bug report right now (which is bothering
me), but I was having the exact same problem, and I have a Voodoo3 as
well.
You can try running xine with the "-s" flag, which uses shared memory.
It's slower, but it will work (worked for me).
Also, you can upgrade to XF 4.1, which fixes this problem (again, it
worked for me).
