Bug Description

Watching videos using the xvideo extension (e.g. mplayer -vo xv) produces lots of on-screen artifacts, making it unusable. A workaround is to add the following to the "Device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Option "DMAForXV" "off"

Though I suspect this results in worse performance.
