Can't get to work VDPAU on Optimus Notebook. But everything else works fine

inmei · December 9, 2014, 9:47pm

Hey there,

after days of googleing and trying i’m out of ideas. I own a Asus N76VB Notebook with nvidia GT740M and i7. The Linux distribution is Kubuntu 14.04.

Kernel: 3.13.0-40-generic
Nvidida-Drivers: 346.22 (trying anything below also)

$ export VDPAU_TRACE=2

I’ve got the same issue, GTX 840M (GM108M), xorg-server 1.16.3, libvdpau 0.8, nvidia 343.36

aplattner · January 23, 2015, 4:53pm

fratti, can you please post a bug report and the exact error message you’re getting, too?

Sure.

All outputs of this laptop are connected to the Intel GPU, by the way. Might be relevant:

its interesting how my system has 346.22 and yours 346.35, but offset in libvdpau (which I believe was updated in last release) is the same.

karuonu · February 12, 2015, 7:05pm

The same issue here with GT640 on desktop. Tried with 304.125, 331.113 and 340.76. Might be relevant that older GS8400 runs VDPAU on the same setup with no problems (after only card swap)!

Error with GT640:

Can confirm this is still present with libvdpau 1.1 and nvidia 349.12.
