The issue seems to be that the ATI drivers (OSS and proprietary) seem to have issues with most video output interfaces on Hardy.
I use the proprietary driver and have tried xv, x11, opengl, sdl and fb, none of these work. Now, we can just say that we'll have to wait for ATI/AMD to fix them but it seems to me that libxine/xine-lib should be selecting xshm as the default when "auto" is selected. It's the only interface that seems to work.
xine-lib already has some smarts to determine the best video output driver/interface to use because not all of them work on all setups. I assume that this would simply be another rule. Happy to be corrected.
