A couple of other things I forgot to mention:

Looking at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, I see this line:

(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation

So, it looks like nVidia is using XvMC ...


Also, searching various nVidia-related boards didn't yield any
definitive answers to my problem, but it did mention a few people
having problems with XvMC with various incarnations of nVidia's
drivers. Also, nothing about my specific card (6200). So, if anyone
has a similar setup to mine, and you have XvMC working, could you
please tell me which version of nVidia's drivers you're using? Thanks!
