Tried to tag this onto another thread, but the subject wasn't quite a match...Does something extra need to be done to compile in VDPAU support? I just noticed that the XBMC I compiled from source has no 'VDPAU' option, and when I set it to auto-detect, it seems to use software decoding. When I use the build from the svn-ppa, I see VDPAU there and it works fine.

You will find the paramters in the readme. Don't remember if VDPAU is default or not, I think it was. I got VDPAU when I compiled anyway.

I checked through the readme's and never saw anything, but looking back now, I do see this when running configure:

checking vdpau/vdpau.h usability... no
checking vdpau/vdpau.h presence... no
checking for vdpau/vdpau.h... no
== Could not find libvdpau. VDPAU support disabled. ==

Actually....maybe the issue is I'm checking out the trunk? Do I need a separate branch for VDPAU on Linux?

EDIT: I browsed through the branches and don't see one jumping out at me that I should be using...So not sure if that's the case I guess.

U must install nvidia-190-libvdpau and nvidia-190-libvdpau-dev package or the nvidia binary driver. Its enabled by default in the main trunk.
if u need to update driver to 190.42 u can use this repo
