  Hi Mlists,
     I have been struggling with this on my M300 ATI notebook. Cannot
get xv to work. But I did re-enable DRI, with two changes:

My xorg.conf is like yours, except:

 Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

I gave up on livna, and built the rpms from the 8.30 version of the code
from ATI. I think that was important - may be wrong.

Dri means I can watch films using -vo gl2!
