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