Hi,
I have recently setup up ubuntu with a cheap nvidia g210 via hdmi and it works great but i am trying to do the same with a Zotac mini itx board, its a atom n330. after installing the nvidia drivers and the latest xbmc from the unstable ppa it will not play any content that uses the VDPAU.
Im currently running natty, Nvidia 270 drivers (also tried 280 aswell)
the xbmc logs constantly showing this error while trying to play the file
when trying to play it in xbmc it attempts to play it but then just shows the menu layout again but acts like its playing a video, ie i can pause and start it, but just displays a blank screen.
if someone has a clue as to what's going on i would be very grateful.
thanks
craig.
**update**
solved,
didnt realise the video card was allocated such little memory in bios, given it 512mb now and its happy.
