Ok, I'll search and see if I can find anything relevant. I wish therer was another driver I could try, but even the noveau[2] driver doesn't support the GeForce 8200 yet. It is a bit frustrating that all these "releases" (of code, docs and whatnot) from nVidia hasn't made things better for endusers (yet). Oh well, that is just the way it is. > And, according to the author of nv driver, it doesn't support Xv > extension on all G8x GPUs.
