Hi,

the current nvidia driver 100.14.19-1 contains a bug that causes XV problems on
some cards.

The beta driver has a fix for this:

"Fixed a bug that caused corruption with redirected XV on GPUs without
TurboCache support."
[http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.04.html]

Could you package the beta driver ?

I tried to build my own package, but the patches (obviously) do not work for the
beta version.
Do you have any documentation on how to build custom nvidia packages (i.e. with
a description of the required source code patches, ..)

sincerly,
markus
