IIRC, the ATI fglrx drivers don't let you use XV and OpenGL overlays
during the same X session. So it will depend on the
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
options in your xorg.conf file, which are mutually exclusive. So you
can have 2D acceleration or 3D acceleration, but not both. See:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx
I'm not so sure on any of this now, primarily because ATI provided
rotten support (both in terms of the drivers and when I'd try to
contact them directly), so I don't use the ATI card in my linux box
any longer.
HTH,

I think this is incorrect though I am not sure. The OpenGL Overlay is
not 3d acceleration, but the ability to accelerate 2d video by placing
it as an openGL texture. I have both OpenGL and XV working on my
machine and get nearly 3000 frames in GLXGears with my Radeon 9200. It
does play all the visuilizations without any problems on my machine. If
he could post his Xorg.0.log and Xorg.conf it may be eaiser to determine
the problem. I wonder if he has opengl set to ATI? In gentoo you can
run opengl-update ati or eselect opengl set ati, not sure about other
distros.
