As some comic book character would say, Flame On!

I must be, becuase I don't expect you to be quite so hypocritical.  You're 
whining about mpeglib not working on your system, and on the systems of 
others with broken hardware/drivers, because the person who compiled it 
(either YOU or the packager) compiled it incorrectly for it to work on 
your system.

What do you expect him to do about it?  Remove xvideo, to coddle the 
people who make lousy packages?
