I have all of the above, and it does.  It plays full desktop (1600x1280)
full speed with no problems, thanks to XFree 4.0, Xv, and my Matrox G450.
The problem is my desktop is bigger than my video mode, so full desktop !=
full screen.

The xv backend doesn't switch video modes.  The sdl backend, on the other
hand, does, but the CPU utilization is of course considerably higher and
the scaling and interpolation isn't as good (looks like nearest neighbor
with sdl rather than linear).
