From the nvidia-glx readme:

"This release includes support for the X-Video Motion Compensation (XvMC)
version 1.0 API on GeForce4 and GeForce FX products only."

Is XvMC the same as the xv driver in mplayer?  How would I go about figuring 
out if the disabled XvMC in the nvidia drivers is the same thing as the xv 
video driver in mplayer?

if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular
window.
