I'm having a problem when trying to enable VDPAU, I hope someone can lend me a hand.
I have an Acer X3200 with a dual core AMD 4850e, 3Gb RAM and a NVIDIA 9300GE PCI-e (G98).
I followed the guide
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_insta...ep-by-step
to build and install XBMC and everything is working fine but VDPAU itself.
I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid (amd64)
Got source with Subversion from
https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot...vdpau/XBMC
Compiled r18779 as shown in source status.
NVidia driver version is 185.13. I've set framebuffer size (BIOS) of NVIDIA card to 512Mb and disabled composite.
The problem is that when I try to play the killa sample, 140% CPU is used and
frames are dropped making the video choppy. This make me guess VDPAU is not working.
Moreover, in settings, when I set video player render to "VDPAU" it stay ok,
but when I change the screen to another option, and go back to video player
render the marked option is "Software".
Could anyone point some clues? What I'm doing wrong? Is there any way to check if VDPAU in XBMC is working? I've tried vdpinfo and output seems to be normal.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
miguel

I had the same problem. The only thing that worked was putting it on Auto. It seemed to use VDPAU after that. My cpu dropped to 8% so it must be.
