Some months back, trying to use VLC on the XO-1.5 resulted in a

Mplayer (with driver x11). That gave me a smaller picture.
Had not tried VLC for quite a while. Just now installed it on os110 --
and it ran. [Haven't had time to explore how well it functions (e.g.,
picture sharpness) -- but at least I can now say that VLC runs.]
It sounds to me like it didn't support xv output before. The
workaround, as you've discovered, is to use x11, which is highly
inefficient and can't scale the picture size well.
