No xxmc Option here, only: auto, dxr3, aadxr3, xv, opengl, aa, caca, 
xshm, none, sdl, vidix, vidixfb and fb.

OK, I'll try to search such a version, but if anyone has a link I 
wouldn't be unhappy...;-)

So there is only the officical via driver which only includes mpeg 
accelearation for root?
That'd would be a bad situation...

And yes, I don't have any problems with DivX on XP on my Via Epia M 6000....

Is there really no-one who managed to watch DivX on this board on Linux, 
too?

That's strange because the failure message was:
configure: error: conditional "HAVE_XV" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.
*** Error: Fail to compile.
Please ensure the UniChrome Pro VGA driver has been installed.
Or, visit the http://sourceforge.net/projects/viaexp for more help.

[I didn't found much help there...]
