Libvdpau will use a dri2 driver instead of NVidia if one is registered,
which should be the case if you have a Radeon or NVidia card and a
recent radeon¹ or nouveau² X driver. Here is what I see when I run
mplayer:

For the missing libvdpau_nouveau.so, see bug #656719.
However, the Intel driver does not register a dri2 driver since it does
not support vdpau.
