Well, that was the first time I saw that...but, yes indeed, it is true  . Thanks for the link to that kde article...looks like the Nvidia engineers listened and delivered the required fix. |

indeed, I can't even believe now that non-smooth scrolling in dolphin was caused by nvidia-drivers 
at least the corruptions with awn, compiz and openoffice(-bin) are gone now so I can work with office-stuff and composited wm enabled at once 
way to go nvidia !

Does anyone experience slowdown when using firefox with this driver? I'm running kde4 svn and using firefox for surfing, after 10 minutes of work system slows to crawl. After closing firefox everything becomes responsive again  |

I don't know about a general system slowdown, but
firefox is *bad* - slow, jerky scrolling (with the strangely
named "smooth scrollling" off) ... This happens to me
in both 3.0.4 and the 3.1 beta ...

| How about an ebuild for this driver ?? Portage contains only 177 :/ How will portage react if I use the ".run" file provided by nvidia ?? |

No need for that.
| Code: |
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/myoverlay/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/myoverlay/profiles
echo "myoverlay" > /usr/local/portage/myoverlay/profiles/repo_name
echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/selfoverlay" >> /etc/make.conf
cp -R /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/files /usr/local/portage/myoverlay/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
cp /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.80.ebuild /usr/local/portage/myoverlay/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.06.ebuild
cd /usr/local/portage/myoverlay/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/
ebuild nvidia-drivers-180.06.ebuild digest
|
Creates your own overlay and uses the 177.80 ebuild for 180.06. |

The ebuild needs to be modified to install the vdpau headers however, otherwise you can't compile mplayer-vdpau for HD video playback.

I've tweaked the nvidia-drivers ebuild to install vdpau files (include and libs), and tried their little script to get a patched mplayer. On ~arch, the following patch is needed for libx264 (thanks nvnews forum for it):

After that, I tried it on some huge .m2ts H264 files I got of a friend's wedding, and all I can say is... WOW! With xv, mplayer tells me my system is too slow to play them... with "mplayer-vdpau -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau" command line, mplayer barely appears in top!
Although there is occasional video corruption, no overlay, and potential to crush the GPU, this is impressive. Waiting for an official driver and up-to-date mplayer patches impatiently

@Voyageur
could you post your tweaked ebuild here pls?

| Second that! My konqueror scrolling issues are no more! I just compiled from the overlay and compiled the mplayer-vdpau from nvidia's site, but am not at home yet to try it out, already did a mkvextract to a pure h264 stream, so, we'll see! |

git-sources-2.6.28-rc5-git2 + 180.08:
+ OpenGL (quake3): works
+ Most of KDE4: great
- Window resizing: still not quite fluently
- Font problems with Glyphcache: still there
~ Stability: Can't tell yet |

My entire system slows down when I have firefox open. It works great in the beginning, but then the entire system starts to slow down. I am unsure if it's the firefox+new driver combo or if it's firefox/flash+new driver?
Anyway... downgraded it on my workstation and it works great. My moviebox, which only plays movies has stil the beta driver installed.

Yep, started noticing that too. In for a dime, in for a dollar...so I upgraded to the the latest 180.08 using Schwinni's ebuild from here. So far so good, but I'll give it a couple of days to see if the problem is fixed:

Good on you NVIDIA! You just gained a potential customer.

"Wow!" is a good description of this update. My h264 performance stayed about the same, but the CPU utilization went from 80% to 10%.
/edit: No stability problems observed (yet). |

Does running glxinfo in a terminal speed it up again? It's possible that Firefox is slowly eating up all of your video memory, and running glxinfo will free some of it up by forcing Firefox's pixmaps into system memory. |
