What version of XF86 are you using?  The vidmode extension is what a lot of
programs that try to do realtime video use.  I originally had a problem with
most of the video players 'cuz I didn't have vidmode extensions.

Typing 'xdpyinfo -ext XFree86-VidModeExtension' should give you something that
looks like this at the bottom:

XFree86-VidModeExtension version 2.1 opcode: 135, base error: 131
  Monitor Information:
    Vendor: Unknown, Model: Unknown
    Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1

    108.00   1280 1328 1440 1688   1024 1025 1028 1066  +hsync +vsync


If you don't get this at the bottom... you go hungry BOW, BOW, BOW....
(wondering if anyone will recognize the reference...).

Cheers!
