it is one of the design issues of the Xv architecture...
there is no std wahy to set V-sync with Xv API.
some drivers - like GATOS - workaround this by defining custom option,
so you can view/set with xvinfo/xvset? XV_DOUBLE_BUFFERING or similar thing
i don't have my ati mach64 by hand...

check, maybe nvidia also provides such function, anyway i doubt they do...
matrox users use mga/xmga, ati users use vidix, so they aren't limited by
xv's problems...

ah, and you should also use teh -double mplayer option, with single
buffering V-sync has no any effect
