Are there any other pre-req's for this? I installed all libraries listed for compiling on linux, and i have my nvidia drivers at 180.29
Here's the failing part: Quote:<snip> Sorry for the length. Theres more than this, but this is all i could fit in a post. |

PHP Code: ../cores/VideoRenderers/../ffmpeg/vdpau.h:47:25: error: vdpau/vdpau.h: No such file or directory the compiler cant see your vdpau headers. How did you install 180.29? does the /usr/include/vdpau folder exist? |

So, I installed it and that did the trick. Update: Compiled fine, but when playing an mkv file, just audio, no video. Downloaded and compiled mplayer with vdpau patch to test, and that works fine. Further Update: Wiped the source tree out and re-started from scratch, works great now. Watched my CPU usage, and didn't move at all when going to play the video. Looks great. Only one small issue, when I press "Play" on my MCE remote, which would normally bring up cpu usage and stuff on screen, seg faults XBMC. Oh well.

Interested in doing this. However EnvyNG for 8.10 appears not updated in ages. The NVIDIA install instructions appear somewhat dire to include killing X\removing piles of files and the repo for 8.10 looks like it has 180 vs 180.29.
So, what are folks doing to get the latest NVIDIA drivers onboard smoothly? From the looks of the TRAC these changes are moving into mainstream code and I'd love to play with them on my machine! Ubuntu 10.10, MCE USB receiver, ASROCK 330 (ION), DVDs fed from unRAID cataloged by DVD Profiler. HD-DVD encoding Added DiNovo Mini KBRD w/track |

In my case, I'm running jaunty, so the version in the repos is 180.29. When I was using intrepid, I just ran the vanilla nvidia installer and that was ok. I've been running jaunty on my main htpc for a couple months and it's stable enough for me. Last week I upgraded my server/htpc for the office and bedroom (multi-seat X) and it's been smooth sailing. |

Actually, no. Those instructions are wildly inadequate. Steps are:
1) deactivate ubuntu's version of the proprietary nvidia 170.x drivers under system|administration|hardware drivers 2) sudo nvidia-uninstall (This step can possibly be skipped; I needed it as I skipped step 1 my first try. Step1 is definitely mandatory.) 3) from a shell prompt (ssh into your box or go to a VT from the console via ctrl-alt-F2), run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to kill X 4) from that same shell prompt, sudo sh nvidiawhatever.run to install the new drivers 5) sudo shutdown -r now to reboot (feel free to put this in the wiki, if you want)

why reboot?
Just modprobe -r nvidia then modprobe nvidia. This isn't windows you know...  TheUni |

The past two posts are the reason I believe I will never be able to conquer my fear of linux long enough to get something like this to work.
A) What is "nvidiawhatever.run"? B) what does "modprobe" mean? |
