[Savage40] Xvideo problems

When I try to play video all the screen gets black. Only exiting the
video app (ie hitting ESC in xine) I can return to my desktop.

But I've found that executing this script I can play video without
problems (using the xvideo output):

#!/bin/sh
sudo s3switch crt tv
sudo s3switch crt
xrandr -s 1
xrandr -s 0

I have a ProSavageDDR chip and I'm using XFree86 4.3.0.1 in Ubuntu
Warty. I'have my TV allways attached to my PC. I have Xorg in another
partition and I have the same problem.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
