Well maybe helps you, nvidia driver v 195.22 are out, maybe it helps you with lot of problems with nvidia problems.

you can get them from:

https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa

with sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-190

I don't know if it is a pre-release but maybe helps you with your problems

[Felias]

Sorry, but isn't it more like:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-195

?

Is DigitalVibrance supported in xorg.conf again?

EDIT: Only getting this after update (added the ppa:team-xbmc/ppa)

xbmc@htpc:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-195

libvdpau also ssems newer (0.3.2)

I'd request a how-to for upgrading a 9.11 camelot live installation without shredding the whole system

[calebdk]

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CEC06767

sudo apt-get update

If live version remember to stop XBMC (press "S" and choose exit XBMC)
else sudo service gdm stop

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-195

sudo reboot.

worked for me atleast

just so that it is clear: pidjey's post was from 12/19/09 (195.22)

in the meantime there's a minor release out from beginning of january (195.30) and according to the file dates in the nvidia PPa also a newer VDPAU library

as the version differences are so small I guess I won't bother upgrading.. 195.something is supposed to be already included in the live version, isn't it?

[finite3]

Is this safe to do to Live Camelot RC1?

Do you have to upgrade VDPAU lib as well ?
- How?

I have some weird VDPAU errors in the log, and slow startup on some 720p videos, so I want to want to rule out driver issues.

Does this finally add audio over HDMI for the newer Nvidia cards in linux?

[liq456]

Is there any benefit to install 195.30?

As long as you don't need to set special settings in the xorg.conf for a legacy TV (connected via s-video, composite, etc.), this driver is quite fine.

But if you set the option TVStandard, X freezes the whole system while starting. I had a long fight against my HTPC after upgrading to 195.30 until I found out the reason for the crashes. This is of no interest for people who connect the TV via digital interfaces (or better: who are not using the tv-out of the graphics card) or who have a TV which works with the default standard set by the driver (which might be NTSC, but I'm not sure).

I had the choice between a) having the new driver with no TVStandard set and the picture being black and white or b) using the old driver and having color TV again. My choice was b)

As far as I know now, this error applies to all drivers since 190. Nvidia knows about it but doesn't fix it. Therefore I'm stuck with drivers up to version 185. Now I'm running 185.18 again and everything is fine.

(On my main PC the 195 runs without problems but I also don't see any improvements compared to 190)
