all that changed, apart from new features, is loader stuff:

+LoaderModRefSymLists(module,

Do I need to make these loader changes to get correct operation or 
does your fallback code

work correctly in all cases?
Can I ignore this code change, I assume I can given that the driver 
works without changes.



Where should I look to debug why XVIDEO is not showing up under 4.6.0?


This would be answered by your subsequent query about the XvExtension 
symbol's disappearance.

Indeed.

You should be able to.  But, in my opinion, it would be better to determine 
why the 4.5 driver works better for you than the 4.6 one, aside from the Xv 
thing.
