Bingo. In fact, xv is not even detected. 
I am not sure which package contains Xv. I'd appreciate any feedback.

P.S. 
One thing i don't like about Ubuntu is that the install CD (just one)
naturally contains only a basic set of packages. 
A lot of stuff has to be added
afterwards (unlike in Fedora, where most stuff can be  pre-installed). 
Looking
at Synaptic it appears i have most of xorg stuff installed. 
But Ubuntu chose ati
driver for the graphics card (Fedora chose radeon). Could it be that this driver
doesn't support xv?

Thanks.
