Default X.org and XVideo

Right now I'm having a problem or two with Xvideo. I'm running X.org 6.8.2 on a Pentium III with an SiS Virge graphics card [a little dusty, but it works].

X isn't using the XVideo extension. Refuses to use the XVideo extension. I emerge'd it with the XVideo use flags, it even says in /var/db/blah-blah-blah/USE that it was compiled with XVideo support, and just to be sure I emerge'd it again just to be sure with USE="xv" in front.

I'm pretty sure that my configuration file isn't to blame, either. Here's the Device part for the graphics card:
Code:
Section "Device"
        Option     "XVideo"             "True"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "s3virge"
        VendorName  "S3 Inc."
        BoardName   "86c325 [ViRGE]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:1:0"
EndSection
Any ideas?

horndude is on a distinguished road

Default

check xorg.conf file and make sure the module gets loaded, dunno about x.org but with xfree it was listed as extmod, secondly, the S3 video card might not support it to begin with, probably doesnt do openGL either

whats the xorg log file look like?
