I don't think the 8xxx series or the 9xxx come in AGP.

I just checked newegg, selecting nVidia and AGP bus and the cards listed are the FX, 6xxx and 7xxx series.

I all honestly I don't think nVidia will support the 7xxx or lower series for VDPAU. It has to do with the chipset nVidia uses to of load the CPU cycles to the graphics card.

I have installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.37 (pre-release drivers) and I have AGP Nvidia 7300GT video card.


Cheers!

I'm sorry but your graphics card doesn't support VDPAU as far as I know. Like somebody mentioned you need at least a 8xxx series.

I answered your comment on my blog as well. Doesn't hurt to give you the info here as well:

If I go with the steps you took described you forgot to install the include files.

You seem to have missed this paragraph.

In order to compile mplayer you’ll also need two extra files, nVidia does provide them but for your convenience I tarred them up. You can find the download link in the sidebar of this blog under Local Downloads.

How to install them is described in Prepare for configuration and compilation.
