Indeed, when I went back and rebuilt Mesalib after libvdpau, the library libvdpau_nouveau.so was built. I did need to set export VDPAU_DRIVER=nouveau to get it to be recognized. However, I still got an error: [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 23 The above may be because I am running mplayer over an ssh connection. Going directly to the system, the error is a little more serious: MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode video - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 771: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! I don't think this is an error in mplayer. It may be a HW/driver issue though. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
