So I have xorg-edgers PPA and the radeon driver from there.
I installed Mythtv, 0.27 and VDPAU (as above).

vdpauinfo said;
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

but I tried Mythtv anyway and it worked ok!
Changed to VDPAU in frontend set up/video/playback - and it failed to initialize, but back on normal or HQ, and all OpenGL settings it works fine.
In fact everything worked fine - so I added the 0.27 PPA in mythbuntu control centre and updated to 0.27.04.
Now mythtv still plays back ok - recordings, videos, live tv etc...
....*But* my backend set-up freezes whenever I choose a menu. 
Frontend menu works OK  - apart from the set up  -audio, -video. -general and -appearance  menus. themes, media settings ok.

So I have a 'sort of' working system, but now need to get the set up menus working again?
Any ideas?
