Debian has some patches for libvdpau. They look pretty sane and they actually seem to make adobe-flash run more stable in Opera and Firefox. http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvdpau/libvdpau_0.6-2.debian.tar.gz

All patches still apply to 0.7.

(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #2) > All patches still apply to 0.7. So I pulled down the tarball you referenced and plucked out what I believe are all the patches. Can you explain which ones you'd like added? I'd rather work with Aaron to get them merged upstream if they have merit to be merged.
Comment on attachment 355726 [details, diff] link-with-libx11.patch I don't know if this one actually fixes something. I couldn't reproduce any situation where linking wasn't done automatically, but then I don't think I have tried with the gold linker, for instance.
Comment on attachment 355730 [details, diff] vdpau-module-searchpath.patch This patch should be obsoleted by this commit at upstream, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/libvdpau/commit/?id=ee9491a1216f47e10cbb551391a01c7fcde940d2 It's included in 0.8 release
Comment on attachment 355726 [details, diff] link-with-libx11.patch If this is required, I expect to see a bug report about it, meanwhile it builds fine here using strict linker, binutils's ld.gold and -Wl,--as-needed just fine
Comment on attachment 355728 [details, diff] simplify-dlopen-path-length-error-handling.patch This one looks directly related to "vdpau-module-searchpath.patch", and is thus, also not required for 0.8 release
Closing and adding 0.8 to tree from bug 516506
