You can use oilaf ppa for Ubuntu packages for Mesa 9.2, they have everything enabled for VDPAU.

If not feasable, just follow RadeonBuildHowTo, and add "--enable-vdpau". And that should be it. (For building mesa)

Nothing to do

franky@franky-desktop:~$ vdpauinfo

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1


I use the oibaf ppa and kernel 3.10.4

As a general rule, installing mesa and the like requires 2 steps:

1. build mesa etc
2. MAKE the system use the built libs.

You have to find libvdpau_r600.so (where you compiled/installed it), add its directory to /etc/ld.so.conf, then execute "ldconfig" as root. This is done to add the path were the .so file are to the systems lib path (where looks for libs).

Finally I installed fedora 19 and it simply works with the installation of the package mesa vdpau.
