Supporting XvMC (and XvMCW)

[Philip Prindeville]

Apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it... I've
only been on the list a couple of months...  and a quick search of
old messages didn't turn anything up.

Could the X driver installation process write out the contents of
/etc/X11/XvMCConfig based on the driver module that has
been selected for the xorg.conf file?

For instance, if you've selected the via drivers (in xorg 6.8.99.900
and later, for instance), then /etc/X11/XvMCConfig should contain:

libviaXvMC.so

or:

libviaXvMCPro.so

If you're using the NVidia drivers (from NVidia, and not the GPL "nv"
drivers instead) you'd have:

libXVMCNVIDIA.so

for instance.  Other cards might not offer support.  I believe the Savage
cards do.

Does this sound feasible?
