This has been bothering me at least since precise (although there the missing link went to libvdpau_nvidia.so which was all the more mysterious since I do not own NVIDIA hardware). In numerous cases do I get a warning that libvdpau_i965.so is being tried to be accessed but it fails. I also can't find that file anywhere on my system or in the Ubuntu repository. I tried poking around with ldd to find out where the call to that lib comes from but so far unsuccessful.
