AHA! Finally someone else with the same 64-bit Xv problem I
have/had!

FWIW I was so disappointed with 2D on my 9700 with the open
source radeon driver I gave it up and went back to the R100
card. I get much better xmame speed out of it, believe it or
not, at least in x11-mode 0.
When I had the 9700 installed I also had the
stretched/green-line problem with xmame Xv mode. I don't
remember having that problem with xine ever. CPU usage was a
bit high IIRC, but it looked great. (Just don't use
gnome-terminal or simply changing mouse focus will cause frame
skips!)
I think you'll also find the radeon driver performance to be
abysmal. Try pacman on -nothrottle -noautoframeskip. Ideally
you should see several hundred FPS at least, and over 1000 if
you have a large L2 cache. But with the 9600/9700 I'm sure
you'll get a fraction of that framerate. Maybe 1/10th. X will
hog the CPU.
On the R100/xmame-0.87.1/X86-64/Xorg-6.8 open-source radeon
driver I get:
1500 FPS in normal windowed mode. (-x11-mode 0)
240 FPS with -x11-mode 1, but it is not fullscreen!
segfault with -x11-mode 2 or -x11-mode 3
81 FPS with -x11-mode 2 -yv12 (looks OK; does not have green
line problem, but X hogs CPU again!)
107 FPS with -x11-mode 3 -yv12 (looks OK; does not have green
line problem)
