If you can only use the vesa driver, then you'll probably just use the 
x11 support.  If you can use the via driver, the man page says it 
supports xv video.

In order for my Fedora 8 box to support xv (with an ATI radeon), I 
needed to install the packages mesa-libGL and libdrm.

I also needed to add the following lines to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
        Load "dri"
        Load "drm"
        Load "extmod"
        Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "dri"
        Mode    0666
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
