As a comparison on my fglrx system it lists two of these sections..
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
....
client glx vendor string: ATI

For xv to work make sure you device section contains VideoOverlay in
your xorg.conf file.

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "ATI Graphics Adapter 0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option      "(null)"
        Option      "PowerState" "2"
        Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection


Using a vo of gl I get very good performance in mplayer.
