MPlayer svn requires a 190.* VDPAU driver. However if want to use VDPAU
then you're better off using the git repo instead of svn (easiest built
using git://repo.or.cz/mplayer-build.git). Compared to svn it has a
significantly improved VDPAU implementation, and it should also work
with older NVIDIA drivers.
