Bug#800658: Please consider shipping my /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99-select-vdpau-driver script in libvdpau1

[Alexander Kurtz]

Package:  libvdpau1
Version:  1.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I currently have this in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99-select-vdpau-driver:

	#!/bin/sh -e

	prefix="/usr/lib/`arch`-`uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`-gnu/vdpau/libvdpau_"
	suffix=".so"

	for driver in "${prefix}"*"${suffix}"; do
		driver="${driver#${prefix}}"
		driver="${driver%${suffix}}"

		if VDPAU_DRIVER="${driver}" vdpauinfo 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
			export VDPAU_DRIVER="${driver}"
			break
		fi
	done

Without this script, I get this:

	$ vdpauinfo 
	display: :0   screen: 0
	Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
	Error creating VDPAU device: 1
	$ 

With it, everything works fine. You may want to consider shipping the
script above in the libvdpau1 package. If you do, please don't forget
to add a dependency on the vdpauinfo package.

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
