I'm in the last stages of migrating my (mostly legacy) stuff to a newer

On my previous system with an old ATI Mach64, I specified the XVideo
output driver and was getting pretty decent results.
On the new system, with a fairly current nvidia video card, and the
default ‘nv’ free driver, only the sound appears to work when I stream
TV news channels or play .flv videos.
You may try with the proprietary "nvidia" driver or test with another
video player.

In any event, I ran that same xvinfo command on the old laptop and got
about two screenfuls of output for my trouble, one line accurately
naming my video card somewhere near the top, followed by many lines of
cryptic output.
Is this telling me is that the XVideo extension on the new machine is
not enabled?
You can check it:
stt008:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
I have among other things a Ubuntu 10.10 system on the same laptop and
with the proprietary ‘nvidia’ driver, the xvinfo command produces output
similar to what I am getting on my former machine.
Hoping that this might be a simple case of debian ’lenny’ being too old
for my hardware and that I only needed to be patient and the problem
would take care of itself, I proceeded to boot into debian ‘squeeze’,
but unfortunately, I got the exact same results as on lenny: no video
with ‘xv’, very choppy sound with ‘sdl’, and xvinfo outputs the same
three messages as above.
Hum... I get output from two lenny systems running "nv" and "nvidia" so
the problem must be in other place :-?
I am not really keen on installing the ‘nvidia’ driver on the debian
systems, but on the other hand, it would be nice to be able to take a
quick look at the news and such without having to reboot..
The closed source driver for nvidia works quite well under my lenny
systems, I have no complaints (easy to install and very stable). I only
have it installed on systems where I need additional capabilities that
"nv" driver cannot provide.
