It has a whooping 32Mb of RAM. Of course, a very cheap and low-performance
card. But then, since I don't care about games, it works (almost perfectly)
for me.

As a matter of fact, even playing video works --- except in the 1600x1200
resolution. But with -vo sdl I can change to full screen and then toggle
resolutions, and watch the video in fullscreen perfectly well.

> xvinfo | grep maximum

maximum XvImage size: 1920 x 1080

As the resolution is 1600x1200, there seems there is a problem with the
Y resolution. But what does that "maximum XvImage size" mean? Is this
related to the screen resolution or to the actual size of the window
displaying the video?
