When I run VLC using XVideo as the output type, I get the following error: NFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig' [00000001] main libvlc debug: translation test: code is "C" [00000001] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

Mine's a Radeon X1550, which has tons of memory, and I'm using the radeonhd driver. Note: If I switch the video type to "X11", it works fine.

Please provide the output of emerge -pqv vlc xorg-server xf86-video-radeonhd and attach your xorg.conf file to this bugreport.
BTW, I did some research on this, and this appears to be a VERY common problem. Here's the emerge output you wanted.

Hi, it looks like your driver for somehow non aparent reason try XV overlay and fallback to X11. So could you try xf86-video-ati driver? (no worries it supports same subset of graphic cards :])

I'm using the ATI driver as you suggested. I'm not sure if I'm doing this exactly right, but anyhow, I started up a video, and it played fine. I looked at the preferences, and the video output was default. Then I changed it to XVideo and quit and restarted, and it played fine (and the setting was still XV).
