It claimed to support Xv when I did xvinfo. However when I tried (on a mobility x1400 btw) to play movies (in mplayer and totem), the movie display was all white, and the computer crashed hard after a few seconds (still with some HDD activity).
Oh well, hopefully soon
Hmm, I got that package yesterday, and now I see that there's a newer one. Time to try it again
