I have libxvmc.
Search for xvmc in Synaptic Installer leads to ([x]=installed, [ ]= not 
installed):
[x] libxvmc
[ ] libxvmc1
[ ] libxvmc1-dbg
[ ] libxvmc-dev
That's all.
If I try to install libxvmc1 (the others aren't important for me I 
think...), I get this error message:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libxvmc1_1%3a1.1.0-2_i386.deb: versuche 
?/usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1? zu ?berschreiben, welches auch in Paket libxvmc ist

which is translated:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libxvmc1_1%3a1.1.0-2_i386.deb: try to 
overwrite  ?/usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1?, which is also in Pacet libxvmc.

With Xv you mean xvmc?
I mean, I can select xv driver in Xine or in mplayer, but then again 
video output is too slow (as always yet...)

OK, thnks.

So the best strategy to get DivX Playback in Linux working is getting 
xvmc support in a videoplayer, right?
