I also failed to get VDPAU acceleration on 10.10. The fix was to create a link to /usr/lib/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so in /usr/lib (it already existed in /usr/lib32) like so:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so After this, both xbmc (Dharma) and "mplayer -vo vdpau" seemed to use vdpau OK. Prior to fix, the error was: "Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". AFAIK this affects 64bit systems only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690755 Title: poor graphics performance with nvidia-current in maverick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
