And the second even better news is, that the ugly resource problem seems to be fixed in the 185.19 beta driver. Even systems with on-board graphics adapters (shared graphics memory) seem to work now without any issues anymore.
Here are the the release news from the VDPAU point of view: Continue reading ‘VDPAU: stable 180.44 and 185.19 beta driver’
