I do not know. nvidia seems to give one step forward and two backward.

xv control was in 100.14.11 but disappeared in 100.14.19.

Now that ATI has been bought by AMD, and its drivers will be open,
maybe something change.

By the way, you new src.rpm contains:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg0.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg0.run
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-9625-NOSMBUS.diff.txt
nvidia-graphics100.14.19.spec

and the one I had prepared:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-9625-NOSMBUS.diff.txt
nvidia-graphics100.14.19.spec

Where did you get the pkg0? In nvidia site there is only pkg1 and pkg2
(pkg0 is half of  the size - stripped?). The final rpms are almost of the
same size, thought.

Curiously my version gave me problems using mplayer and xine, but not
mythtv, and yours the reverse. But maybe it was just a coincidence.

Anyway, I downgraded to 100.14.11 and I am using the new driver only on
computers with the 8000 series.
