That's what I'm trying to figure out. I have two frontends, one Athlon
1800 with MX440 AGP using XvMC perfectly on Redhat 9 and Xfree86 4.3. I
have another Celeron 2.2ghz with MX4000 PCI that fails dramatically on
XvMC (despite working OK with software playback) on Fedora Core 4 and
xorg 6.8.99. Both are using the 7676 driver linked with Myth against
libXvMCNVIDIA.
It doesn't seem there is much different other than the OS/xorg version.
