Well, xvidix is one of the two (X11) VOs which show movies without tearing for
me. The other one is -vo sdl, which has its own share of problems:

- Doesn't recognize shift as modifier
- Doesn't keep aspect ratio when resizing the window
- Doesn't allow changing desktops in fullscreen mode.

Xv tears sometimes, not that often, but it's noticeable. Gl does as well, even
though I've activated the vsync option in driconf.  Perhaps I can get cvidix
working again, when I find a kernel patch that makes radeonfb recognize the
X800GTO.
