Define "doesn't work" - what happens when you try to use it?

got blue/green screen instead of picture when playing video with xine/gstreamer over Xv with colordepth 16. all seems ok with colordepth 24

I can't reproduce this with an RV350. Maybe your card needs different treatment for the colour key in depth 16. Just in case though, could you attach (uncompressed please) the output of xrandr when the problem occurs?

I can confirm that 6.7.197-alt11 build would do blue area (mplayer via xv in 16bpp on Radeon Mobility 7000/M6), while 6.6.3-alt5 would work just fine.

What info can I provide to help get this regression fixed?

Are you sure this isn't an issue of the overlay ending up on the wrong crtc?  Do you have the same problem at both depth 16 and depth 24? Do any of the following commands help?

xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0

That's what I thought, but the attached xrandr output shows only one CRTC enabled.

Depth 24 is fine according to comment #5.

Would be great if somebody who can reproduce the problem would try and bisect where it was introduced.

xvattr doesn't help at all

My git master from a couple days ago, Radeon Mobility 7500, I tried textured video, and it works at depth16.  regular Xv doesn't work at depth 16, i get the blue overlay background.

I tried both xvattr commands, both while vlc player stopped, and while video (failed) playing, no change.

enabling s-video output, initially sets clone mode, no help.  doing xrandr --output S-video --right-of LVDS makes video appear.

Does that make the video appear initially on S-video or LVDS?

I am running VLC, it's window is on LVDS display, and that's where the video appears.

Does disabling AIGLX or setting Option "VideoKey" "0x01" help?
