</div>Unfortunately, all drivers newer than 100.14.11 exhibit this bug,<br>
meaning that 100.14.19 is one of them. :(<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I don't have anything positive to say, but I'm using hardy and newerish drivers with NvAGP set to 0 on an AMD 3000+ and 1080i works fine, but 720p stutters horribly. So far I've just dealt with it and watched 720p stuff on another front end, but long term I'm not sure if I'll attempt VDPAU with a PCI card or upgrade the mobo/CPU finally. XvMC support is so annoying. <br>
