Well, I entered this exact line above into google and the first two hits took |
| 21 |
me to the NVNews forum where you will find heaps of help. Such as: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
-not every nvidia card supports it |
| 24 |
-not every nvidia driver supports it |
| 25 |
-you must run the nvidia bug reporting tool to find out if you can use it |
| 26 |
-as of February, vdpau and xinerama were incompatible |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
You'll get better quality help at NVNews than here, as the nvidia devs watch |
| 29 |
that forum and do respond. |
