It's got nothing to do with color depth, it's the simple fact that
XVideo extensions are not fully implemented in the radeon drivers.
Getting the extension is some kind of a hassle. Basically, you need to:
1. Get the XFree source (preferably from DRI CVS,
http://dri.sourceforge.net)
2. Get the necessary patch, it's somewhere on the maillist or I can send
you a diff file
3. Apply the patch, there's some manual work if you're using the one
from the list
4. Compile and install the stuff
If you make it this far, it works really well. The only thing you'll
have to do is not to overwrite the radeon driver afterwards (the binary
driver packages from DRI do this!)
