Comment(by David Shay <davideshay at gmail.com>):

 I've applied the patch and attached two logs.  The first log was with my
 original setting which was at 32MB of RAM for Video.  Perhaps that was
 never enough for 1920x1080 HDTV.  I'm not sure what is actually required.
 Is there guidance based on resolution?

 In the first log (failure1) -- it fails when trying to create the 4th XvMC
 surface and video never displayed.

 I then upped my VideoRAM in BIOS to 128MB (it supports up to 256MB).  This
 lead to XvMC "working", although I still get a failure message when it is
 trying to create apparently the 9th surface out of 16.  How many surfaces
 should it be trying to create?

 I would just plain turn XvMC off, but otherwise I can't seem to do fast-
 forward above 3X without getting massive pre-buffering pauses and having
 to stop/restart the rewind process.  Not sure if that's some other issue
 or not, but with XvMC on, that problem goes away completely.

 This is with Nvidia drivers 100.14.09.  Gentoo no longer provides 7667.  I
 can get 7186, 8643, and then their "100" series.  I'm sure I could
 manually do it if you think it would help.
