I have looked at the README.  I have a device ID 0x00F1-type 6600GT
(made by PNY).  What version do you have?  Also, if you run:

	xvinfo | grep -i colorkey

Do you get something like:

	"XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 16777215)
	"XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 1)
	"XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 16777215)
	"XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 1)

If not, you don't have working Xv support.
