A couple of folks pointed out my typo...

I also failed to update my cvs on a couple of them when importing from
git... So I have respun the patch, should apply cleanly now.

The updated intel driver has XvMC support on 965+ and I think when I
fixed that upstream, it also fixed it for the rest of them (915/945,
etc).  You may have to hack on mplayer or ffmpeg, can't remember which
one to find a player that uses it, but it's there... vlc is also
reported to support it.
