Ubuntu Will Not Enable Open-Source VDPAU Support

So we may end up seeing VDPAU driver support out-of-the-box in future Fedora Linux releases while it won't be in Fedora over being conservative with the disk image size.

A possible compromise
Already ubuntu ships with Jockey to allow switching drivers to or from the closed blob drivers. Why not modify Jockey to also allow use of one of the optimized driver PPAs like the Oibaf PPA? Keep in mind, I think Ubuntu still does not ship mpeg support by default anyway, so you already have to add the codecs to use VDPAU support. Mint (which does ship the codecs) might need another solution, I would suggest they cherry-pick a sweet spot from the Oibaf PPA each release and put it in their "import" repo.

Originally posted by profoundWHALE View PostWhile I agree that they should include it, if Debian has valid reasons for not including it, Ubuntu will probably respect that regardless.
In this case I think it's to avoid dependency hell.
To me, as an Ubuntu user, this is absurd... because Ubuntu has its own team for mesa.
