[mythtv-users] Playback problem

I recently got a problem with playback of every videofile or dvd. It could 
have something to do with
my upgrade to the latest ATI drivers, but i'm not sure. Maybe there is some 
setting that i have missed
that wasn't present in earlier ATI versions.
Anyway this is what happends.

To play a dvd i would use "mplayer dvd:// -vo xv -fs -zoom"
This worked perfect before. But now i get the picture in double size, and 
therefore i only see the top half
of the movie. If i use "mplayer dvd:// -vo gl -fs -zoom" it plays in the 
correct size, but instead it is very
jerky playback. So i really would like to use Xv, but dont know how to get 
the right size of the picture again.

And yes, it is the same when playing a recording in MythTV, i only see the 
top half, so in the bottom
half i have the OSD which i can't see. Kind of a problem.

Everything worked fine before. And the only thing i could think of is that 
the new ATI drivers.
Maybe i have to add something more to xorg.conf that was not necessary 
before?
I have tried to add DisplaySize to my xorg.conf but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Here is my xorg.conf:
