I checked my other system with a Matrox G450 and that one only has
one adaptor. So the patch would work fine for this card.
I think most gaphic cards only have one adaptor so the net result
with or without the patch are the same.
(I tried to look around for Xvideo documentation to figure how 
things work but so far haven't found anything. Any pointers?
Ther must be something around: almost all tools using Xvideo 
use more or less exactly the same code to detect and select 
Xvideo adaptors, formats and ports...)

 They couldn't think of a number, so they gave me a name!
