VDPAU not working in Opensuse 11.2

UrbenLegend · 04-19-10, 07:31 PM

I have installed the Packman Mplayer and smplayer packages. I have also installed the proprietary nvidia drivers from the main site. However when I try using vdpau in mplayer, the video doesn't show up and the logs show these messages.

Code:

VDPAU capture: Enabled
vdp_imp_device_create_x11(0x8f811f0, 0, -, -)
VDPAU nvidia: Version: NVIDIA VDPAU Driver Shared Library  195.36.15  Thu Mar 11 23:42:13 PST 2010
VDPAU nvidia: Error detected 0 6291 
VDPAU nvidia: Backtrace:

    -> 1
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

VDPAU works with my card in Kubuntu, but not in Opensuse. Please help!

Ah geez, it works now. I think the problem was that I uninstalled the nvidia driver package from opensuse repo (which I think has a broken vdpau implementation), then installed the driver package from the nvidia site, but I did not do a complete restart afterwards. I only restarted the X server.
