[mythtv-users] Vdpau of out memory issues with Avenard repos on Mythbuntu 9.10/0.22 Fixes

[Greg Cope]

HI All,

Am I the only revo owner with the following errors.  Myth hands at the
"Please wait...." splash occasionally

WAF is going down, as a reset is usually required (SOP for those
without console/ssh access here :-);

2010-04-18 19:17:46.537 VDPAU: WARNING - please read the following carefully:-

* The VDPAU device has reported that you have run out of video memory.   *
* MythTV requires at least 512Mb of video memory for full functionality. *
* If you are using an integrated GPU, please ensure you have allocated   *
* the maximum amount of shared memory in the BIOS settings.              *
* Systems with only 256Mb of video memory are not supported.             *

* If this message continues to appear and you have at least 512Mb of     *
* video memory:-                                                         *
*  - reduce the number of VDPAU video buffers by adding                  *
*    'vdpaubuffersize=X' to your Playback Profile custom filter entry,   *
*    where X is a value between 6 (minimum) and 17 (default). Playback   *
*    of certain H.264 streams will fail with a reduced buffer size.      *
*  - disable any VDPAU options (e.g. deinterlacing, sharpen and denoise) *
*  - ensure the composite extension is disabled in your xorg.conf        *
*  - disable the use of OpenGL Vsync (Setup->TV Settings->Playback)      *
*  - use the Qt Paint Engine (Setup->Appearance)                         *
*  - switch to a 'lightweight' theme such as MythCenter                  *
*  - run MythTV at a lower screen resolution                             *
