extension "XVideo" missing on display

[Adam (StatiC) Gibson]

I had the same problem :).  I did an upgrade from redhat 6.x to 7.0 and thought I was running 4.x for about a few days.  The RedHat upgrade does not reconfigure your X settings to transition to XFree86 4.x though so I was still running 3.3.x.  I just ran Xconfigurator which seems to setup XFree86 4.x.  Can't remember if I did anything else but that though.  I have since then upgraded to 7.1 btw.
