I don't think that is my problem:

root at htpc:~# cat /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1

root at htpc:~# locate libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1

root at htpc:~# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 25 Mar  8 21:57 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 -> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.7676

Thanks for looking though.

Tom
