Tried using the new Nvidia drivers together with XBMC (live) 9.11. Message from xbmc.log is:

Code:

Any clue what might be wrong? Nvidia drivers to new to handle XBMC?

Not sure if if you actually meant 256.25 as they are working fine.

Steps can be followed on a karmic install with same results.

I recently did an update to newest nvidia drivers via x-swat, and even though I'm running a newer revision of XBMC, I have experienced no problems whatsoever with the drivers. maybe it's really XBMC build-related.

Looks like nvidia just released 256.35 yesterday. I'll wait to hear about someone else succeeding before I try.

Why the heck not, I'll let you know how it goes.

*edit* No problems. 1080p Blu-Ray rip of Where the Wild Things Are ran fine. Only tested the first 10 min or so, but dropped 5 frames when it started and zero after that. I was upgrading from 256.29, so ymmv.

running 256.35 and only experianced 60 dropped frames on 1080p Blu-ray IMAX rip of space thing (cant remember what it is but Leonard Nimoy does the voice over!)

Looks like nvidia just released 256.35 yesterday.

It was released 19.06.. Haven't seen any problems.
