The nvidia 173 driver is meant to support GeForce FX 5 through GeForce 7000 series cards. These cards do have some video acceleration, but they do not support libvdpau. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo#Nvidia_VDPAU_Feature_Sets
Although the 173.xx driver does support GeForce 8000 - GT/X 200 series cards, users of those cards should be using the 304.xx branch for optimum support (including VDPAU). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1268312 Title: vdpau missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates/+bug/1268312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
