You can't reliably detect which Linux distribution someone has installed. There's nothing destinctive about them (at least nothing consistantly distinctive - Slackware has an /etc/slackware-version file, but it only appeared in Slackware 7.1, debian has a similar thing, but that may also only be a recent addition). A simple "Missing files... pick your distribution for info on how to obtain the missing files: 1. Slackware 2. Debian 3. Redhat 4. FreeBSD 5.

Actually it's the "Xv video extension" according to the XvQueryExtension(3X) manpage: "XvQueryExtension(3X) returns the version and release num- bers for the Xv video extension currently loaded on the system.
