There are some good howtos about for building rpm's from source. However of course it could also be an interaction between libxv and something else that is at fault. There seem to be indications on the mandriva forums that the i810 drivers are a bit borked, which could be the problem. What's more http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libxv1&submit=Search+... suggests that libxv is the same version in 2009.0 as 2009.1, and what's more that the changelog hasn't changed since 2008. There is a change to 2010.0 though: * Thu Sep 03 2009 Christophe Fergeau <[email protected]> 1.0.4-3mdv2010.0 + Revision: 425949 - rebuild http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandriva/2010.0/i586/media/main/release/libxv1-1.0.4-3mdv2010.0.i586.html
