Maybe -V xv relaxes CPU load a bit.

Well, on my openSUSE 10.3 I cannot use xxmc anymore with my
GF6600 as it dead locks for the same reason. openSUSE 10.3 uses
an libxcb based libX11 and there is a race condition bug in
libxcb which causes the emulated libX11 function XLockDisplay to
deadlock when an application uses multiple threads.

There exists already a fixed version of libxcb but it is not
available for a stock openSUSE 10.3. On the other hand, my EPIA
MII-6000E runs openSUSE 10.3 too, using the binary openchrome
driver package provided at openchrome.org and hasn't deadlocked
so far though using xxmc.

Bye.
