   if I understand you correctly here, you mean the libSDL from
http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.1.html .  I just got that, and their
configure script tries to compile something like this as its test for
"XvImage" (I guess its possible that XvImage isn't Xvideo, but it seems like
the only thing close in that configure script):
   #include "confdefs.h"
                 #include <X11/Xlib.h>
                 #include <sys/ipc.h>
                 #include <sys/shm.h>
                 #include <X11/extensions/XShm.h>
                 #include <X11/extensions/Xvlib.h>
int main() {
                 XvImage *image;
; return 0; }

   Thats just telling me whether or not I have the development libraries.
   Perhaps I missunderstood you.  Is there a way that I can tell if Xv is
actually loaded and working correctly?
   
   thanks in advance,
