Well I'm definitely no authority on that. But I can layout the jest of what I did, I guess.
1.) If missing, add a gcc build environment (I have the kernel headers also)
2.) Download and manually install (dpkg -i) the folowing deb packages from spitted desktop
a.) libva
b.) xvba-video
3.) Dowlnoad and install the ATI proprietary divers (I have 10.3) from AMD.
4.) Install subversion and download the latest XBMC svn trunk using subversion
5.) Follow the instructions in README.ubuntu. They're very clear.
You should note that the devleopers have asked people not to distribute any svn builds until the code has stabilized after a recent code merge that has nothing to do with vaapi. This also means that we are likely to encounter bugs as we compile from the svn trunk and that the devlopers do not wish to have them reported until they iron out a good portion of them themselves. The will make an anouncement on the main site when they feel ready.

Hi
Actually, poulsbo drivers don't support render to pixmap (vaPutImage) but I haven't found any use of the function vaPutImage in the xbmc code. is it used internally by the libva library or xbmc, actually, renders to pixmap differently (using other functions until support exist)?
thanks

i tried to compile xbmc with vaapi but i do not get it working:
i try "./configure --enable-vaapi" when configuration finishes teh summary says: "VAAPI: no"
i´m running ubuntu lucid 64, and followed this description:
1.) If missing, add a gcc build environment (I have the kernel headers also)
2.) Download and manually install (dpkg -i) the folowing deb packages from spitted desktop
a.) libva
b.) xvba-video
3.) Dowlnoad and install the ATI proprietary divers (I have 10.3) from AMD.
4.) Install subversion and download the latest XBMC svn trunk using subversion
only change is that i use the 10.4 drivers from ati. any ideas? or can someone twell me if there is an repository with a comipled xbmc with vaapi?

you certainly need the -dev packages as well.
