I was looking there, but found its a new control type I missed.  However
it still doesn't help.  I set either Standard XvMC or VIA XvMC won't
play using XvMC, there is an error message on the frontend console:
2005-12-18 21:10:25.929 VideoOutputXv Error: Unable to create XvMC Context, 
status(11): BadAlloc
2005-12-18 21:10:25.929 VideoOutputXv Error: Could not open XvMC port...

                        You may wish to verify that your DISPLAY
                        environment variable does not use an external
                        network connection.



$DISPLAY = :0
