Bug#787582: VDPAU needed

[Julien Aubin]

OK found the workaround for now :

Run :
cd /tmp
wget
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/g/glx-alternatives/glx-alternative-mesa_0.6.91_amd64.deb
wget
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/g/glx-alternatives/glx-alternative-nvidia_0.6.91_amd64.deb
wget
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/g/glx-alternatives/glx-diversions_0.6.91_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i glx*.db

It will end up with an error but this is actually not a problem.

Then run :
sudo aptitude -t experimental dist-upgrade

So you need to upload to backports :
glx-alternative-mesa
glx-alternative-nvidia
glx-diversions
