I simply get a black window on my Athlon/G400 system. The bug was
mentioned on the list before. I assumed that it would be a general
1.1.7 problem. The bug is mentioned on the SDL homepage and fixed
in their CVS, but I have not tried that yet.
Maybe RH have integrated the patch in their 1.1.7.

On my other box (K6/Mach64), the SDL driver crashes, because Xv is
available, but does not have enough video memory left for the overlay,
I only have 2MB of VRAM and OMS cannot switch SDL to XShm mode.

With mpeg2dec on the Mach64, I get the same crash (out of memory) with SDL
and Xv*, black picture with sdlsw and Xshm works.
