Hello,
I recently upgraded my desktop from 10.04 to 12.04. Since that, I have problems using smplayer to play video with VDPAU enabled. Seem like something (unity?) is consumming too much GPU RAM and there is not enough to play video then.
My graphic card is GeForce 9600GT 512MB.
nvidia-smi output:

Any idea how to fix this problem?
