Have a mentioned my modest hardware that many times . A laptop at that which will not actually take an upgrade video card... But your point is well taken and for my next computer I would be foolish not to get one with a decent card and definitely vdpau would be in there.
To move a little OT: I mentioned on another guide that in fact I have finally made a decision to retire from the svn installation guides for MPlayer that I have undertaken for several years now. In part because I have slipped behind the times with vdpau, FFmpeg-mt, coreavc and the like but mostly because Karmic is shipping with a decent MPlayer package. And of course rvm has a PPA with a decent copy as well .
All the best,
Andrew
You think that's air you're breathing now?
