Bug#705558: mesa: VDPAU backend files not available
Package: mesa
Version: 8.0.5-4
In the X-Server nouveau driver VDPAU captibilities are available (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau).
But it seems that the VDPAU backend file (libvdpau_nouveau.so) is not available
On other distributions the VDPAU backend file (libvdpau_nouveau.so) is available, e.g. Arch Linux: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nouveau-dri/
In Debian Wheezy I didn't found any package that contains libvdpau_nouveau.so.
Makefile.vdpau should build that file.
With vainfo I got first an error that nouveau_drv_video.so could not be found.
After installing vdpau-va-driver and creating a symlink
ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/vdpau_drv_video.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_drv_video.so
I got a different error
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nouveau.so: cannot open shared object
Other VDPAU backend files, e.g. libvdpau_r600.so, seems not available, too.
Is it possible to ship VDPAU backend files with Debian Wheezy?
