3D graphic cards

Hi,

You might want to try the Gatos drivers from http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ . 
With this driver, I got the ATi chipset in my laptop working with Xv support. 

3D acceleration is not tied to Xv support, in fact, there are many video 
drivers that support Xv but not 3D (open source nv drivers, newer ATi drivers 
for Radeon 9500, 9700 and 9800, the gatos drivers...).

Best regards,

Arjan van Leeuwen
