Okay, finally got back to this. Just got 7174 playing nice on my Athlon XP 
1800. It definitely lowers cpu usage for HDTV playback, though still not 
enough that I can watch 1080i programming w/a deint filter enabled on this 
lowly box without stutter (plays well enough w/no deint filter, but lots of 
motion jaggies). Will try again when I swap my GF 6200 back in there, 
currently has a GF4MX...

Ah yes, as for the XvMC thing, I'm getting no-go also:

Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using IDCT surface
2005-04-01 23:57:23.224 Using XV port 105
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module is version 0.7174.0, but
this library is version 1.0.6629. Please be sure that your kernel
module and all NVIDIA driver files have the same driver version.
Unable to create XvMC Context return status:11 BadAlloc
2005-04-01 23:57:44.760 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
2005-04-01 23:57:44.760 Decoder not alive, and trying to play..
2005-04-01 23:57:44.860 Changing from None to None

That happens even after yanking all traces of 6629 from the system, so it 
would seem 6629's libXvMC is staticly linked to libmyth, or something like 
that. I'm kicking off a rebuild of myth against 7174 before hitting the sack, 
we'll see what we can see tomorrow...
