That depends on *which* GeForce card you have. vdpau will only help you if you have a GeForce 6 series card or later *and* are running with the nvidia driver. The more later, the more it can help you. If you are using nouveau or nv, you can't benefit from vdpau support. > Presumably things would go badly if it found libvdpau_nvidia.so . > > Once upon a time, I knew what DRI failure meant, > but I've forgotten and googling turns up questions but no answers. DRI = Direct Rendering Infrastructure. It is the main support for 3D acceleration in X11 these days. In the video world, DRM is the Direct Rendering Manager.

This looks like you have a Radeon card of some sort. Radeon is made by AMD these days (used to be ATI). GeForce is made by nVidia. > from mplayer -V, the last lineis > >> vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized.. Yeah, I get this message from both my laptop and my desktop. The former has an ATI chipset, the latter an nVidia one. What is in your /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file? It should show the vo options it will try and use. Mine uses: vo=xv,xvidix, and I don't have those problems.... The man page for mplayer for video output options. You can override by using the -vo command line option.
