Pretty sure my instructions were to mmiotrace the blob by following the
instructions on that wiki page, not to install a firmware package that only
provides the video firmware. (And while I'm working on making my script also
extract the graph firmware, that's not ready yet.) On the bright side, you
should be able to use VDPAU for hw-accelerated decoding now.

Oh, I also got the cmdline option wrong -- nouveau.config=NvGrUseFW=1 -- sorry.
