Hi.
This is my first post on these forums. First, I would like to say, that I have found many useful information here. Keep up good work.
Now, this may not be exactly the right thread, but I thought it might be appropriate.
I have Asus laptop with optimus, both Intel and nvidia graphic cards. I have Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with 3.13.0-30-generic. No matter what, I cannot seem to manage to get VDPAU to work. I use Intel card most of the time, and I would need nvidia card for watching HD videos with mplayer. This is (for now) the only thing I need it for. I installed bumblebee, which works fine, using nvidia-319 proprietary drivers (probably others too, might even work good with nouveau). Is there someone, who can help me to install VDPAU? I don't care if it means compiling source, switching cards using only command line, installing w/e drivers. I just want to know how to do it. If you have any better solution than VDPAU, that is also great. For now, mplayer uses about 60% of CPU, which I don't like. I believe I need to install libvdpau1 vdpau-va-driver. Anything else? Do I need to configure it somehow?
Some info:
optirun lshw -c video
vdpauinfo
optirun glxsphears64
mplayer -vo vdpau videofile
ll ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vdpau/
/usr/lib/vdpau is empty.
As you can see, both want to use intel's module for vdpau. If do VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia in from, I get the same error, except with _nvidia instead of _i965.
If you can help me (you can send me PM if you don't want to spam here) or if you need any other information, please say so.
