To use VDPAU hardware acceleration you need to specify a hardware codec also - As I use VDPAU all the time i have this configured in my mplayer config (~/.mplayer/config) as so: vo=vdpau vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau, Which lists all of the VDPAU codecs, and allows for fallback to the other codecs if a matching codec cant be found (thats what the trailing , is for). I have never had an issue with video in this setup. If you wish to run that from the command line I beleve the command would be: `mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau, <file>` My understanding is the VDPAU works on all GeForce 8 series or better cards (8*** 9*** 2**), I'm not sure what driver version you need to use VDPAU, however its working for me with 180.60. However I have only tested this with a 9600GT and a 8600GT. As for it working with Xinerama, I can't comment - however it seams to work _mostly_ using NVidia's TwinView which seams to provides all of the Xinerama information to the desktop (ie. windows don't maximize over all my monitors, just one). (As for the 'mostly' I only realy have an issue with subtitles, particulay if I pass -ass to mplayer) Nich
