Comment 133 for bug 948053

@giardia: Interesting... I had not noticed because I hadn't run mplayer since the previous install of 96.43.23. So my log doesn't show the error. Now that I've reinstalled libvdpau, I suspect that the next reinstall of 96.43.23 will show the same.

However, I do see these:

$ cat nvidia-installer.log |grep libGL
