Do you use a kernel frame buffer? Sometimes it is said that using a 
frame buffer driven console and X might lead to some trouble. Though, 
I've never had these problemes with my G400, its frame buffer code /X11 
driver seems to be mature enough for using a frame buffer enabled 
kernel and X.

Does the P650 driver support XVideo after all? What does 
"xdpyinfo | grep -i XV" say?
Does your XF86Config contain 
Load "extmod"
in the Module-section? XVideo is loaded by extmod.
