Error creating VDPAU device: 1 on Optimus laptop Asus X550CC with GT720M / Fedora 20 / xrandr

Hi,

I have Asus X550CC (XX030) optimus laptop. It has GeForce GT720M dGPU. I use xrandr to display desktop rendered by the dGPU on Fedora 20/Mate. Everything works fine except VDPAU.

VDPAU_TRACE=2 VDPAU_NVIDIA_DEBUG=3 vdpauinfo says the following:

display: :0.0   screen: 0
VDPAU capture: Enabled

    -> 1
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

My lightdm setup display script:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

I have also tried Ubuntu 14.04 with bumblebee and prime. No success, the same result.

I have no idea why the VDPAU is not working on this laptop. The GT720M should support the VDPAU. Can it be disabled by laptop vendor? Or can it be a hardware failure or a bug in BIOS? Or is it a configuration issue or something else?

Thanks for any help.

Also using the same xrandr commands.

Distro is ArchLinux, GPU is a GeForce 840M (GM108M), driver version 343.22.
This appears to be a driver bug.

Same problem, with same config. Arch, 840M.
With VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia, DRI_PRIME=1.
