I got xv working by specifying the extmod module in xorg.conf, and now
and I'm using the following command:

mplayer dvd://1 -monitoraspect 16:9 -fs

since it seems to scale on its own with xv.

mplayer is compiled with nvidia support.  Will it automatically put
the nvidia driver to use when it's using xv?
