I had the same errors (OUCHES) and i installed the libxine-dev and the OUCHES disappeared, but the overlay problems continued. No xv in Kaffeine or VLC. xvinfo also showed an error (i do not remember what it said-something about overlays) so i searched for options to enable in the section "Device" of my xorg.conf. I found-out that all i needed to do for the overlay problems to go away was to add these lines:
 Option "DRI" "true"
 Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
 Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

BUT still no video. Kaffeine does not complain about xv not VLC (thay don't use xshm anymore), BUT video is completely black! No image is displayed!!! Anyone have an idea of what to do next?

If it helps this is my complete section "Device":
