Hi guys,
I'm new in Ubuntu and I'm really getting frustated trying to get my system playing 1080p video....
I've got an Asus 1015PN (nvidia ION2) with Ubuntu 11.04 and 2GB ram.
I've updated Ubuntu and I've installed the last version of Nvidia driver (downloaded from nvidia site).
I've installed XBMC (sudo apt-get install xbmc) after adding the ppa repository (I had to change natty to maverick in order to get it working!) but I can't play smooth the 1080p video.
Here there is a chunk of the log file... hope someone can help me because I'm really frustated on how many tentative and fresh instalaltion i've make in those days.

According to the log, XBMC seems fine but it is not finding VDPAU support so falling back to CPU decoding which sucks on an Atom. There may be a problem with your Nvidia driver installation. Reboot or restart X and look in /var/logs/Xorg.log to see if the nvidia driver is being used.

Also run nvidia-settings (should have been installed as part of the driver install) and check through the settings to make sure there are no errors indicated. You will need to sudo nvidia-settings to give it root privileges when you run it.

PS: It is better to follow up on the earlier thread you started today than create a new thread again.
