I can confirm this with latest Hardy. I have enabled vblank for OpenGL
and it works fine, compiz runs with 60 fps and everything looks great
but all XV video players have a tearing and choppy output. It seems that
XV Syn to vblank doesn't work with compiz. It works fine if I disable
compiz or use gl output instead.

VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8800 GTS 512 (rev
a2)

nvidia-glx-new:
  Installiert:169.12+2.6.24.10-11.29
  Mögliche Pakete:169.12+2.6.24.10-11.29


It could be easily tested with mplayer benchmark. If vblank is enabled for 
OpenGL the video with gl2 output runs smoothly and at normal speed but the one 
with XV runs very fast since there is no sync.

mplayer -benchmark -nosound -frames 1234 -vo gl2 VIDEOFILE
mplayer -benchmark -nosound -frames 1234 -vo xv VIDEOFILE
