It does not work this easily for me. Here's what I have to do:

startup X server, run mplayer -vo xvidix somefile once, then start a 2nd=20
X server (startx -- :1)
XV will then work properly on both servers (I can close the 2nd server,=20
it will still run on the first)

leaving out any of the above steps results in a black box XV overlay wind=

P.S: I'm wondering, why you can "fix" thix more easily, do you have any=20
clue, what could make the difference between your setup and mine?
