     The output of xvinfo is :

X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present
mplayer -vo x11/gl driver options were the only options that provided output. 
The gl option provided video but it slagged greatly making it unusable. Is 
xvideo prefered to x11? Let me know if you need additional testing.
