No differnece. It was working beofre this but was kinda quirky. I could only view video in 16 bit color modes and BCIforXv turned off. With 24 bit I'd get static-like horizontal lines across the screen when viewing video, even with the Xv window minimized. I'd also get it when just encoding video with AVIdemux and sometimes even mencoder.
