exploring, and I may delay the journey for as long as I can. As for vdpau, given the lack of feedback in the X logs, I can't tell if it's there or not. It's not showing up in lsmod, if it's supposed to
If you can install mplayer easily, this should tell you (me!):
mplayer -vo help |grep vdpau
but maybe also test:
mplayer -vo vdpau foobar.mp4
and look for a line like: VO: [vdpau] 640x480 => 640x480 Planar YV12
If you don't have vdpau support, the VO will be something else, or nothing will play at all.

Thanks! I'll try that.
