As nvidia produces their own Linux-drivers (please don't cry about
nvidia, we had that theme so often, and we will have to accept that no
GPL-driver is available - but maybe, Parhelia will be the answer - if
anyone can afford that card) there might be support. Do you know any
docs about the driver's API? Would be great to have hw-accelerated
DVD-playback in Mplayer ...
