Hello again, Since I've not yet had any replies that have worked here, I thought I'd resurrect this thread with a title that I now know is more suitable.
Can anybody confirm whether or not they have the XVideo extension working in a recently updated Debian unstable. You can find out by running "xdpyinfo" and grepping for XVIDEO. And can anyone suggest why a Debian machine I recently set-up might be missing this extension, even with libxv installed?
