XvBA Hardware Acceleration doesn't work

[RussianNeuroMancer]

XvBA Hardware Acceleration doesn't work even after installation of xvba-va-driver package. vainfo output:
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/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 - 0.7.8
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD

The intresting thing it's start working (in mplayer and libva from ppa:gma500/emgd and latest VLC) after this command:
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx

So probably there is a fglrx or libva1 or xvba-va-driver packagin problem.

Workaround: add this line
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="fglrx"
to /etc/environment file.

Got similar message from vainfo. Additionally couldn't install xvba-va-driver since it requires package fglrx-driver, but in 11.04 it's replaced by fglrx.

Install package from ppa:rexbron/bugfixes or from Oneiric repo.

I have the same problem and my workaround (almost similar to the description) explained at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libva/+bug/773466/comments/22
