Yes, AFAIK, vdpau support is only for nVidia cards. Buts, its really nice support. If you ever seem full HD running on an nVidia netbook and an ATOM processor, its awesome! vdpau support means you don't need a honking CPU to be able to display full HD anymore. That's why when I bought my last motherboard (which came with an builtin Radeon HD chipset) I also bought an nVidia GT210 PCI-E video card: for the VDPAU support. It works great! (OK, The AMD Phenom X4 processor probably helps too!)

Without specifying a list (and after exhausting the modes in the list if it ends with a ","), mplayer will go though all the modes in its own order. Seem like vpdau is higher up on the list than the mode you need, so it tries it before what you need. You might want to determine what the video mode you need is and add it to your system's mplayer.conf file so it finds it sooner. > Thank you for your help and your patience. np -- Kevin J.
