I snagged a Radeon 7000, and it works perfectly on that (although the 
TV-out is stuck in PAL, so that won't do).  And judging by Mplayer's 
output, it's /trying/ to do the right thing:

xv:     "*** [vo] Allocating (slices) mp_image_t, 2000x1008x12bpp YUV 
planar, 3024000 bytes
        [xv] dx: 0 dy: 0 dw: 640 dh: 480
        [xv-fs] dx: 0 dy: 80 dw: 640 dh: 320"

xvidix: "[nvidia_vid] setting up a 1152x576-0x144 video window (src 
2000x1000), format 0x32595559"

So it's a driver problem.  I'll post a bugreport here about the vidix 
nvidia driver, and I'll try and figure out where at Xorg I report a bug 
in the savage driver.

I made a 2000x1000 video for testing.  I could upload that so other 
people can test their drivers, but since it takes about 5 seconds to 
make a similar video, I won't.
