I just wanted to clear something up real quick.  Are you using the
xf86-video-via package from freedesktop.org, or the
xf86-video-openchrome package that I put together, and is referenced in
this mailing list and the openchrome bug tracking?  If it is the latter
please post your config.log so I can determine what it isn't detecting.
My configure.ac tries to determine if you have the proper header files
for Xv and Xvmc and only enables Xv if it finds them.  If you aren't
using my package then you might want to give it a shot and see if it
compiles for you.  The URL is
