1. I have ATI HD 4330 and Ubuntu 11.10
2. Installed the latest propriatery driver from Ati's website (11.11)
3. Installed libva1 package from Ubuntu's official repo
4. Installed xvba-driver from splitted desktop
5. Set the symlink (sudo ln -s /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so)
6. Set the environment variable (export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx)
7. Now I get this output:

$ vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
libva: User requested driver 'fglrx'
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.8.0
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD

However VLC and Mplayer are still laggy as hell, 100% CPU, so nothing has changed. Is there anything else that needs to be done to get this thing working? Thanks.
