In .xsession-errors i spotted several: "Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: kan inte öppna delad objektfil: Filen eller katalogen finns inte" And it is true lib64vdpau-driver-r600 is not installed. "This packages provides a VPDAU plugin to enable video acceleration with the r600 driver." But. r600 ? I have Radeon HD6850. I am shifting back and forth using xorg ati driver, and ati "Radeon HD6400 and later" (different minor problems) I think one of them, or both? should have dependancy added to lib(64)vdpau-driver-r600 but i do not know enough to say for sure. BTW, is there a way to make .xsession-erros have time stamps? Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
After manually installed lib64vdpau-driver-r600, i see in xsession-error that it is looking for libvdpau_nvidia.so instead.
Summary: Missing dependancy on libvdpau... or not needed? => Why is what looking for libvdpau?
...and now i have ununstalled that -r600 as that is probably for another chipset; there is another radeon chipset with that name. There is no libvdpau* file in the radeon driver, but in libvdpau-driver-radeonsi . What is radeonsi? I find no thing in graphic driver selection that corresponds to that name. What is installed, is libvdpau-driver-softpipe I am beginning to think something is just trying what works, but why? Probably because of ib64vdpau1 that i see is installed: ib64vdpau1 - VDPAU shared library "The Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (VDPAU) wrapper shared library. This library is responsible for loading the hardware-specific VDPAU driver."

Still valid on mga3 release, and X crashes: Bug 10216 But why do it try to load libvdpau for another brand?!, and i also see it reverting to slow indirect rendering, from xsession-errors: libGL error: open uki failed (Operationen inte tillåten) libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: kan inte öppna delad objektfil: Filen eller katalogen finns inte Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: kan inte öppna delad objektfil: Filen eller katalogen finns inte X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Resource id: 0x2200448 Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: kan inte öppna delad objektfil: Filen eller katalogen finns inte Many lines above that in same file: OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

Obviously the graphics is not running optimally. If i would uninstall lib64vdpau1, it would pull "everything" (KDE,...) Why is what trying to load nvidia vdpau? # vdpauinfo display: :0 screen: 0 Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error creating VDPAU device: 1

FWIW i have another videocard now, a Nvidia, so can not test anymore.
