Can't get XVideo to work on squeeze
I'm having difficulty getting gxine et al to use Xv.
Googling has provided some information, but not a solution.
I'm running Squeeze 64 bit.
walterh@saturn:~$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
walterh@saturn:~$
I have an ATI video chipset, and xdpyinfo indicates that XVideo is
supported. Indeed, on the same machine, booting Fedora 15 from another
partition the results are:

So I conclude that my Squeeze installation is missing an X11 driver
somewhere, but which one?
By the way, I am using the stock "radeon" kernel module in both cases,
not the proprietary ATI Catalyst driver.
Can anyone provide a pointer please?
Thanks.
