My guess is that it doesn't work because XV and xvidix were both 
designed to scale the video up to fill the screen. With 1080i the video 
has to be scaled _down_ because it's resolution is higher than the 
monitors. I guess this wasn't implemented in XV because it's usually 
not needed. They'll probably fix this when HDTV becomes more common. 
You might try to prescale the stream in software if your CPU is strong 
enough.
