I also have occasiaonal system hangs when scrolling in onqueror with the 
savage driver and the xvideo image shifts on tv-out prob is also there.
Anyways I have script mptv, that uses vesa driver for tvout, so I don't have 
to restart X to change res and vesa is nearly the same speed (well the 
software scaling takes it's share).
