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.
