OK, so in my continuing saga, I have my 9500 GT card installed and did a
fresh install of CentOS 5.3 with the beta nvidia drivers and the trunk
MythTV packages both from atrpms-bleeding. I can get SD playback using
one of the prebuilt playback profiles (don't remember which one... I've
tried so much stuff) but anytime I try to enable VDPAU I get nothing but
errors... but not very helpful ones. The screen just sits there with
"Please wait..." and needs rebooting. The console I started the frontend
from shows the following:
