Not a bug, but a helpful update to the Nvidia guide:

1) under your "Enabling nvidia Support" section, you might want to
mention the use flag vdpau as well.  This use flag allows mplayer and
other applications like mythtv to utilize hardware acceleration for
Nvidia cards--it is newer than xvmc and supposed to be higher
performance.

2) under your "Configuring the X Server" section, you may want to
mention nvidia-xconfig for generating an intial /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file.  Then have the user perform the modifications mentioned in that
section.

Reproducible: Always
