You sent the file to the whole list.  Oops!

All right, the relevant diffs aren't very large.  Relevant lines in your 
xorg.conf:

 Option "Capabilities" "0x00008000"
 Option "CapabilitiesEx" "0x00000000"
 Option "DesktopSetup" "(null)"
 Option "PowerState" "2"
 Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "on"

Relevant lines in my xorg.conf:

 Option "Capabilities" "0x00000000"
 Option "DesktopSetup" "0x00000100"
 Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "off"

...OK, so you have PowerState, and you also have a CapabilitiesEx line 
that I don't have.  You also have your pseudo-color visuals set to on, 
while I don't.  And the DesktopSetup lines are different.  The 
Capabilities lines aren't documented anywhere, as far as I can tell.  I 
don't know what the DesktopSetup line does.

The pseudo-color line allows you to use 8-bit color, which you usually 
don't need unless you have to run Xnest at 8-bit for ancient apps.  
Having this on *may* be interfering with XV.  Or not.  I don't know.  
That line and the PowerState line are the only lines that I'd feel 
truly comfortable with changing.  Ah well, try it, see what you get....
