[mythtv-users] Help Enabling VDPAU Support During Compile Time!

[Raymond Boettcher]

Okay, this seems simple and on older versions I've seen this option but for some reason Official 0.26.0 and 0.26.0+fixes branch (commit: 09ac5b2226) won't enable vdpau support:

root at BarbTV:~/mythtv-fixes-0.26/mythtv# ./configure --enable-vdpau --prefix=/usr
# Video Output Support
x11 support               yes
xrandr support            yes
xv support                yes
VDPAU support             no
VAAPI support             no
CrystalHD support         no
OpenGL video              yes
MHEG support              yes
libass subtitle support   no

No Love!  However, the video card in question says its supported as per article http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU and the NVidia Binary Driver is installed!

I double checked glxinfo to ensure the driver is operational!

mythtv at BarbTV:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8400 GS/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 304.60
OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

root at BarbTV:~/mythtv-0.26.0# lspci
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1)

This is the Binary Driver I Installed: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.60.run, is there something I'm missing??  Do I need another package as well to make this work?  This is all running on a Slackware 14 machine which has a Duel Core Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G850 @ 2.90GHz running gcc version 4.7.1.

Surely the solution to this problem is retarded and I'm just simply overlooking something.
