IOW that's what I suspected from your subject: you got it wrong.

OK. Then get me […]

You don't get to give me orders. I'm going to ignore you now.

I do not care. I do care when :
1) you tell me I don't understand how my hardware is supposed to work when it does not or 2) tell me the problem I have with libva has nothing to do with the global Intel display support in debian unstable picture

For me you have various components:

kernel (KMS + DRM) <-> libdrm <-> Xorg <-> Xorg intel driver + mesa for regular 2D/3D rendering + app

kernel <-> libva <-> intel va driver + (vlc /XBMC) for mepg2/h264 hardware decoding

XBMC use the two path and mix openGL and libva.

So what I see is that : the first line is very slow compared to the windows vista one on the same hardware. From what I read at phoronix, the mesa 7.9 is going to improve things provided I also use a fairly recent X + intel driver.

The second line does not work at all because of assertion in libva. Important fixes for intel have gone in libva 1.0.5.

Never mind, will see if I can use Ubuntu packages until you manage to put the next release out.
