[Bug 469350] Re: Output via "vdpau" broken

[Grizzly]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: mythtv
  
  karmic koala 2.6.31-14-generic
- myttv 0.22.0+fixes22594-0ubuntu1
+ mythtv 0.22.0+fixes22594-0ubuntu1
  
  In "Settings->TV->Output on Page 3 it is possible to select "vdpau" as
  output. When run as non-root on NVIDIA 190.42 proprietary driver with
  onboard GeForce 8300.
  
  Expectations: vdpau is working and maybe the bad tearing with ffmpeg /
  xvid disappears
  
  Result:
  
  NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).

  etc...
  
  assumptions
- a) user cant access vdpau api because of insufficient rights -> misconfig in the distro
- b) mythtv in ubuntu has no compiled vdpau support - but it is selectable in the menu

+ b) mythtv in ubuntu has no compiled vdpau support - but it is selectable in the config menu within mythtv...
