I hate to state the obvious, but have you confirmed which file you have on
your system, it's name, and it's location?  The wiki has an example of how
to find the XvMC library if you used an RPM install but confirming the file
you're referencing exists and that you have the right filename should be a
first thing.  The xorg.conf would be nice also.
