Xv driver for XFree86/YDL2.3?

[riley]

I had the exact same problem and I am running a single processor kernel. 
 The only fix that worked for me was building XFree886 (I only built it 
to have a tree to compile the Gatos drivers against, I did not install 
it), and then building the ati.2 drivers.  Once installed my video 
output worked great.

good luck.
