Does anyone here have a working 2010 mac mini that they use for vdpau
playback under linux?  Please chime in as I'm losing hope here...  Not
sure what I'm missing to get proper vdpau playback working under
linux.  I'm running a recently installed copy of ubuntu 11.10
(oneiric), and I built master from git about 6 days ago.

Thanks
