After updating vdpau-va-driver package to the latest version in the PPA from #16 now VLC doesn't crash, although HD DVB-T decoding is far slower than expected (lots of frames dropped and CPU @ 100% with a nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] graphic card). And both vainfo and vdpauinfo still exit with error:

$ vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so init failed
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

$ vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

I'll try to investigate the performance issue somewhere else, as I'm not sure if an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ if powerful enough for real-time HD content decoding with no frame drops.
