This card works fine in my RH9 system with XvMC and so does my MX440 in 
that system.  But on this FC4 system,  failure. I even tried netbooting 
my RH9 configuration on the FC4 hardware and it still failed.   I also 
have problems getting my Unichrome Pro IGP (CN400/PM880) working even 
after using the FC4 RPMs for xorg, via drm, and libviaXvMCW.  I'm 
beginning to think I'm XvMC cursed.

If I could get XvMC working on either of my systems other than the RH9 
(it's my main disk backend) I'd be happy.  My Celeron 2.x Ghz processors 
just can't quite do software HD playback and I'd rather not have to drop 
the $150 on the P4 HT to do it all in software...
