My SB 1500 workstation (with XVR-100) plays DVD's perfect with ogle but if
I switch it to full screen there is some slow down.  This is because on
sparc ogle makes use of medialib for colorspace conversion and video
scaling using the sparc VIS instructions.  Make sure you have medialib
installed and make sure you have the latest ogle package because the
latest ogle package tries to use platform specific libraries (see man -s5
isalist).

On sparc systems its best to stick with "Sun" frame buffers.  Xsun only
supports Sun's frame buffers AFAIK.  You might have a look at www.xig.com
to see what they have to offer.
