Thank you.

I have an i810.

# ldconfig -p |grep 810
 libI810XvMC.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC.so.1
 libI810XvMC.so (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC.so

$ locate XvMC
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMC.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMC.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMC.so.1.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC.so.1.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMC.a
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/XvMC.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/XvMCproto.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/XvMClib.h

I have tried every sensable permutation of --with-xvmclib
[path][/][libI810XvMC][.so]

./configure --enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=/usr/X11R6/lib/libI810XvMC

and yet it keeps saying "...no."

My guess is if autodetect didn't detect it, something isn't right with the xorg
side.

Thank you again for your time.
