I went through the discussion and it seems XvMC and VBE are the modules which
make unichrome.sf.net and openchrome.org difference at that time and then bring
more dicussion about those two projects. And finally openchrome.org wins and be
merged into X.org. So that can explain why XvMC and VBE are still there in
current OpenChrome DDX code.


Thanks,
Frank
