Happy long weekend, everyone.<br>
<br>
I've been trying to get a Zotac Ion board up for quite a while.<br>
Really could use some help over this last hump.<br>
<br>
To shorten the story, I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid pointed at<br>
JY's archive. When I play videdo, it pauses every couple seconds.<br>
myth says this:<br>

2009-09-06 08:33:08.358 VideoOutputXv: Desired video renderer 'vdpau' not<br>
available.<br>
codec 'MPEG2' makes 'xv-blit,xshm,opengl,xlib,'<br>
available, using 'xv-blit' instead.<br>
<br>
I went looking for what could be different between this set-up<br>
and my other working VDPAU computers and the most prominent item<br>
seems to be that the video chip isn't recognized.<br>

I have several packages with "modaliases" in the name installed,<br>
including version 180.<br>
<br>
I've already gone from hardy to intrepid to see if that made it<br>
recognize the chip, and it takes nearly forever, and even hardy recognizes<br>
all the other VDPAU-capable video chips in the house so I'm reluctant<br>
to just try jaunty without some encouragement.<br>
<br>
Anyone have a clue what's wrong ?<br>

</blockquote></div><br><br clear="all">I also had some trouble getting my ION recognized. I was using Mythbuntu based on Jaunty. I ended up using 1.90 which seemed to the issue. I am not certain if the ION requires 1.90 as I have heard others make comments that would indicate they got it working with 1.80, but it did not work for me. YMMV.<br>
