I am having probs trying to get regular SDTV playback optimized also -
currently on Slim and it works fine, but CPU++ or High does not
I am running OpenSUSE 11, latest nVidia drivers, and have done some
xorg digging to tweak my settings. Here's my xorg.conf:

I also added
blacklist intel_agp
to my /etc/modprobe.conf.local to stop it loading the onboard video
agp (DG965WH mobo).
lsmod |grep agp reports only:
agpgart 50868 1 nvidia
Any ideas or help would be appreciated
