Links and some info here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthre...?p=2255561
Works fine here on Lucid with VDPAU and VA-API. Didnt have any problems before, so no visable improvements for me, but the changelog shows a bunch of VDPAU fixes!

Anyone got this working with hdmi audio? (just a question, I havent tried it yet)

Works fine for me. Zotac ionitx-G-E outputting to cheap Dynex 40" LCD. I've found that for whatever reason it'll only output sound after I setup my custom xorg.conf file.
Hey guys,
could someone help me with installing the new driver from ppa?
I tried both nvidia-ppa and x-updates. they both seem to add fine, but after apt-get update I can't find any new packages with apt-cache search. What am I missing? I am running lucid amd64

Would be great to know if this driver fixes multichannel audio thats been broken forever on drivers higher than 185.x.x

After installing the x-updates repository... try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
To let you know I do not have Lucid running on my HTPC...yet. But according to Synaptic it should have both the NVidia version 256 and VDPAU libraries

Awesome, i will make a run for it also after work. I'll post my findings here also. Thanks
I just upgraded to lucid and installed 256.25 beta. 5.1 pcm multichannel is working perfectly
. I cant test 7.1 unfortunatley. The default channel mapping is still incorrect but this setup solves the problem.
