Setup of nvidia + xvmc on Gentoo is well documented and went off

impressed with the results. Using xvmc I was able to easily playback
1080i clips with about 35% cpu use. Considering the low end PCI bus
on the Pundit system board and the low end GPU on the FX 5200.

Can you point me to this "well documented" location? I'm having
trouble
hehe.
I used these resources:
1) The Gentoo Desktop Guide has a nVidia Howto: http://www.gentoo.org/
doc/en/index.xml?catid=desktop
2) The Gentoo Wiki has some good info on nVidia in general. Just
search for nvidia and you'll get a bunch of interesting hits. http://
gentoo-wiki.com/Main_Page
3) The Gentoo forums are a fantastic resource. http://
forums.gentoo.org. Search on 'nvidia' or on 'xvmc' and you'll find
lots of Q&A threads.
On my box (Asus Pundit SIS P4 Northwood + PCI eVga FX5200) I was able
to emerge the most current masked nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and
then run opengl-update. A few quick changes to my existing xorg.conf
and I had the nvidia driver with dri up and running in an hour. After
that I followed the desktop guide instructions to rebuild a few
packages like xine-lib and mplayer to include xvmc support and was
able to use Xine 1.1.0 / 0.99.4 to view HDTV content with xvmc.
