That is good to know, but it implies that 'About Firmware' needs an
addition for (some) nvidia cards ? At the moment we only cover
video cards in
Firmware for ATI video chips (R600 and later)
Also, did you have to load other firmware for your Skylake, or was
that just the CPU firmware ?
I do have /lib/firmware/cpia2/stv0672_vp4.bin which, IIRC, is for a
camera on my laptop. Nothing else for either my Haswell or Skylake.
The details for nvidia are at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VP4/
Yesterday, after som time, found
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nouveau-fw
An interesting thing is that I didn't have to reboot or reinstall the
kernel. Not sure about mesa, because only tested after reinstalling it.
Interesting link. Do you think the addition to the firmware page for
nvidia firmware needs to be updated or is is it good enough?

I like it. Not sure about the notes
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VP4/
{{{
In order to get pre-NVC0 chips to work, you need to
Extract firmware from the blob (see VideoAcceleration).
Install Mesa 10.0.1 or later.
Build kernel 3.12-rc1 or later, install, reboot
Run mplayer -vo vdpau -vc
ffmpeg12vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffodivxvdpau, <file>
In order to make these settings more permanent, you can add
[vo.vdpau]
vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffodivxvdpau,
to
/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
}}}
I didn't add that part to the book because it really doesn't apply to us.
We install a recent Mesa and kernel. The more important part is really
at the VideoAcceleration link.
I didn't have a problem with mplayer, just the mlt package, but I note
that my ~/.mplayer/gui.conf did not get updated with a new mplayer install.
