Tested that the symbolic link issue is indeed fixed in Hardy Heron.
The needed symbolic link is now there:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib$ ls -al libXvMCNVIDIA.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 194438 2008-01-11 11:08 libXvMCNVIDIA.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2008-01-13 22:39 libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1 ->
libXvMCNVIDIA.so.96.43.01
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178332 2008-01-11 11:08 libXvMCNVIDIA.so.96.43.01
I tested by configuring mplayer with XvMC support using
./configure --enable-xvmc
and it does link the test /tmp/mplayer-conf--13690.o object OK now (whereas
before, it failed,
saying "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXvMCNVIDIA"). So the bug is certainly fixed
in Hardy Heron:

So far, I've only tested by just running the Live CD of hardy-desktop-i386.iso
(the January 2008 one with 18b9db3935b2910e4afdb9816cfd2e0b MD5SUM),
basically following the same steps as described in:
http://www.penlug.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LinuxHardwareInfoNvidia5200
but in addition (because it's a Live CD, and not an installed system) doing
sudo apt-get update
followed by
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev libxvmc1 libxvmc-dev
to install the required packages.
Thanks for looking into this bug, and for making the fix!
