<p>The only reason I really use nvidia-drivers is because of VDPAU. Otherwise I can't watch HD videos on my media center. VDPAU works great, and I hope nouveau supports it or something equivalent eventually. Mythtv probably uses it, though that's just a guess.</p> <p>Alecks Gates, sent from Android on an HTC G2</p> <div class="gmail_quote">On Apr 11, 2012 5:17 PM, <<a href="mailto:ny6p01@gmail.com">ny6p01@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 10:38:50PM +0200, Stefan G.
