VDPAU with 9500GT

[LuemmelHH]

According to the docs, my 9500 GT should by VDPAU capable. But neither mplayer (with vdpau patch!) nor vdpinfo (v0.5) can access any VDPAU functions.

System:

• Gentoo Linux with vanlla 2.6.29.4 kernel (x86)

• driver 180.60 (also tested with 180.51)

• Xorg 1.5.3

• 2 x TFT running with Xinerama

Ok, i found the problem: VDPAU does not work with xinerama!

Now everything works:
