Having fixed the kmail issues on my desktop, I decided to upgrade my laptop. This uses an ATI Radeon HD4000 series gfx card (r600 driver), and until now, HD Video acceleration has functioned perfectly with the open source drivers and vdpau.
Following the recent updates, I no longer have video acceleration!
Code:
~$ vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1
libvdpau_r600.so still exists and seems to be in the right place.
I've tried recompiling vdpau, which went without errors, but still gave the same error. I've tried removing vdpau altogether and re-installing it from scratch and still get the same error.
I'm NOT a programmer. Am I right in guessing that its libvdpau_r600.so complaining that it can't open something? If so, then what? And why didn't it complain when recompiled?
Any suggestions?
TIA,
