Am using xbmc-9.11-1.fc12.i386 on Fedora 12 with a nVidia FX5200 card, i.e. using 173xx drivers.
This was working fine until abt a month ago when I upgraded the xorg files and I got this message when starting XBMC:

Is there some hack in XBMC that could stop it checking the video card and get on with it, instead of exiting, as clearly XBMC works with my present video drivers?
