OK, so I was *never* able to get the nvidia drivers to work with any  
FC5 x86_64 kernel, so I downgraded (clean install) to FC4, installed  
2.6.16-1.2115_FC4smp and nvidia-graphics8762 and nvidia-graphics8762- 
kmdl-2.6.16-1.2115_FC4smp and I'm still not getting a working XvMC,  
with the same error I was getting on FC5.

What's going on? I'm so confused!
