Do you have some multiscreen setup or TV-Out or whatever? On my system, 
I have a TV-Out active, and since this setup XV on fullscreen only plays 
at 1024x768 pixels. Seems to me that XV gets its dimensions either from 
the smallest available screen or from the first available screen (and 
doesn't bother to search for more)
