Are you sure the problem is only related to xv ?
I can't get fullscreen with tv apps only when I use kde. There are no problems anymore with windowmaker or xfce4. I also noticed that ogle can't get fullscreen, even if it uses XV output, but only under kde.
I get this bug with both my laptop computer (radeon powered) and my desktop computer (nvidia powered). So this bug is hardware independent.
That is why think this is a kde bug.
A friend mailed a kde developper about this problem and he (the kde developper) told him it will be fixed in kde 3.2. I'm sorry, I don't find this mail anymore, but I'll send it to the list as soon as I find it.
People who already use kde 3.2beta should not experience fullscreen problems with tv apps anymore.

Subject : Re: [SLE] TV + fullscreen does not work
Hi all,
I noticed that we haven't found a solution to this problem.
I have, however, confirmed that the tv apps definitely don't get to use XV. I
had the TV running (xawtv), while messing about with mplayer, and I noticed
that mplayer was still using XV.
So, any ideas why the TV apps can't get XV?
Thanks
Hans
