I’m not sure if this problem is due to SDL/smpeg or something wrong with
Chips&Tech driver in 4.0.2, but after upgrade from 4.0.1 when I’m trying to
play any mpeg file I see only many funny-colored rectangles remotely resembling
image (C&T driver supports XVideo extension). I tested it both with standard
plaympeg utility from smpeg package and using smpeg-xmms plugin - results are
absolutely the same. Recompilation of all packages involved did not change
anything.
It would be nice if the issue (if it’s really SDL/smpeg related) will be
resolved before 1.1.7 goes out.

Try setting the SDL environment variable:
export SDL_VIDEO_YUV_HWACCEL=0
If that fixes the problem, there is either a bug in the XVideo implementation,
or in SDL’s code.
