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.
