The mplayer I used before (which was probably from debian-multimedia but just might have been from Debian) always made a feature of it. So included it. But take it it is useful for distributions but not for me. > Additionally note that the only compilation method actually supported on this > list is ./configure && make Assume above method amounts to ./configure && make but just then turns result into a .deb package file.

The compilation failed, but worked after libvdpau-dev was installed - it was what it seemed to ask for. Using the drivers you get from NVidia's site: NVIDIA-Linux- x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run or similar. Lenny on my box will not use X without them. eric at fido:~$ lsmod | grep vidia nvidiafb 39680 0 vgastate 7824 1 nvidiafb nvidia 9622008 38 i2c_core 25424 12 tda9887,tda18271,tda8290,tda827x,nvidia,tda1004x,saa7134_dvb,tuner,saa7134,v4l2_common,tveeprom,i2c_nforce2 Thanks again.
