That reminds me of some big frustration I had getting XvMC to work - 
loading the correct X modules. To get XvMC to work with Nvidia binary 
you must not load "dri" but "glx". But I found out the hard way that 
this is not enough. Not sure which option (or combination) finally did 
the trick, but my xorg.conf has the following section:

    Section "Module"
            Load  "glx"
            Load  "extmod"
            Load  "dbe"
            Load  "fbdevhw"
            Load  "record"
            Load  "freetype"
            Load  "type1"
    EndSection

Hope this helps.

Btw. I updated my 6150 over the weekend from FC6 to F8 and myth .21. Now 
the 6150 is driven by nvidia 169.09. Works well for me.
