Have you tried Schwinni's modified ebuild yet? --> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5284356.html#5284356

EDIT: Seems you forgot to copy over nvidia-drivers/files to your overlay where the ebuild tries to get a patch from. ;)

Must be the case, otherwise portage would complain at the very beginning. ;)

I've added the nVidia 180.08 drivers and settings to berkano overlay, and updated the live mplayer ebuild there with vdpau patches. Happy testing! :D

Does running glxinfo in a terminal speed it up again? It's possible that Firefox is slowly eating up all of your video memory, and running glxinfo will free some of it up by forcing Firefox's pixmaps into system memory.
I didn't try it. I just went back to the old version.

Thanks. Using the ebuilds from the berkano overlay for nvidia-driver and mplayer I get a
Code:
Starting playback...
VDec: vo config request - 720 x 576 (preferred colorspace: Planar YV12)
VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0)
Movie-Aspect is 1.78:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
VO: [vdpau] 720x576 => 1024x576 Planar YV12
Error at libvo/vo_vdpau.c:179


each time I try to play a video. Video window opens for a fraction of a second, audio starts to play before mplayer quits with the error message above.

The same error is reported by a gentoo user in the nvidia forums, and reported to be solved by using the ebuild from this thread. Now I'm a bit confused, as I thought it would be that ebuild that made it into the berkano overlay?!

@ yngwin

Since you added the vdpau use flag to the mplayer ebuild, I suggest adding it to the nvidia-drivers ebuild also:

I don't know if it's the 06 vs. 08 or something, but others are complaining (mostly on nvidia forums) about not being able to play mkv files, but I played them just fine. In fact, although I only tried 4 movies, they were all mkv, all 1080p, and all using -vc ffh264 and -vo vdpau (edited mplayer now defaults to this as well) and all worked flawlessly. I even used arrow keys to jump around the movies and had no issues. Had no sound sync issues or graphical artifacts (I do get artifacts sometimes with the coreavc driver).

I'm sure I'll run in to a glitch now that I've said this, but my first impressions are, needless to say, quite positive.

In order to use the VBDPAU for decoding, you have to use -vc ffh264vdpau. Anything else doesn't use the acceleration.

That's what I meant. (I'm not sitting in front of my desktop, but I just remoted in and saw you're right. I knew I would get that wrong!)

[EDIT]: Also, the reason I mentioned that they're 1080p, is that if I don't use coreavc, I haven't gotten 1080p to be viewable. It begins jumping around after only a few seconds if I'm using x264. This hardware-accelerated playback is great!

I might be wrong, but I don't think your card supports the video acceleration method that these drivers provide. I've got a 7600GT, and I'm in no rush to try the new driver, as it doesn't look like it'll bring me anything. Even some of the 8000-series cards do not have the hardware required.

EDIT - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123095

So definitely not supported.

Ahh ... OK, thanks for the information.

I know it's beta stuff in heavy development and want to thank all for thier efforts and work, but wouldn't a simple message about missing hardware support and a fallback to unaccelerted software decoding be a better solution? I know that's "upstream" ... maybe one should implement a short warning in the ebuild, that missing hardware acceleration breaks the default mplayer video output driver?

OK, now that's a bug: I tried to get a working default video driver for mplayer again, so I unset the vdpau use flag, and now I get

OK, now that's a bug: I tried to get a working default video driver for mplayer again, so I unset the vdpau use flag, and now I get
Code:
Unknown parameter: --disable-vdpau

 * ERROR: media-video/mplayer-9999-r20 failed.

Sync again. That's already fixed.

mattes, I think your downloaded files are broken.
Do a
Code:
rm /usr/portage/distfiles/NVIDIA-*

and remerge again.

I got a small issue. Minefield (firefox-trunk) segfaults when I use 180.08. It is fine with 177.82 and also when 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11'. Can anyone reproduce this issue by using firefox trunk (, i.e.,
Code:
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-3.1b2pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
tar -xjpf firefox-3.1b2pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
cd firefox
./firefox-bin
dmesg | tail

).

Just to make sure, I just renamed and ebuild digest'ed the 177.80 ebuild. (Also added the vdpau section, but segfaults even without it.) The only other reason I can think of is I am running a slightly old system (gentoo 2007.0 : gcc 4.1, glibc 2.5, xorg-7.2).

I must say that plasma runs much better now.

The funny thing is that now glxgears dropped from 6000fps to 4800. 896MB GTX260 :\

Smooth scrolling in firefox is still very choppy...anyway to fix that?

Or you grabbed a snapshot with errors. That can happen when using the trunk.

Just installed 180.08. Big improvement. I was seeing artifacts when moving windows with 177.80 and 180.08 fixed that problem. Also most stuff seem snappier like moving windows and scrolling text. It is definitely worth the effort to install this new driver. I can't comment on stability yet.
