[mythtv-users] VidOutVDPAU Error: Failed to initialise VDPAU

Any idea why VPDAU will not work on this myth client (i7-920 running
ubuntu)?  Everything seems to be in place on this machine yet it wont fire.
Normal works pretty decent however VDPAU locks up trying to display video.
Anything set to VPDAU will fail.

Per the wiki i have disabled these:

The following configuration changes should be used to prevent issues with
VDPAU when used with MythTV:

   - Enable OpenGL VSync within MythTV at Setup -> TV Settings -Playback
   (Page 1) - *This may no longer be required - I haved this disabled with
   no playback issues (Dave K - 05/10/2009)*
   - Enable Extra Audio Buffering (same page)
   - Disable Real-Time Priority (same page) (or limits.conf) if you have
   intermittent playback freezes (playback stops for about 30 seconds,the
   computer is COMPLETELY unresponsive during this period and then playback
   resumes as is nothing had happened)
   - Adding 'Option "TripleBuffer" "true"' to the Device section of
   xorg.conf (following the 'Driver nvidia' line) will allocate more memory
   buffers to 2D playback (and less to 3D).
