You have to enable VDPAU output as well.
Sorry, but where and how? In VLC? *.conf file?
In preferences go to the "Video" tab and select VDPAU from the list of outputs.
I didn't have VDPAU, there. That's why I'm asking. Have a look at my attachments. VDPAU is only enable under "Input/Codecs". Is my VLC version missing something?
Yes, you do not have VDPAU video output support enabled in your VLC build. You may need a newer version (>= 0.6) of libvdpau and recent VLC master.
With that I get only every several seconds one frame but good audio.

Please try again with latest Mesa, updated patches have been committed. I can play high-bitrate 1080p files without any framedrops and reasonable CPU load (~40-50%) on an E-450 now, even without VDPAU video output, which means that the inefficient readback path is used. With VDPAU video output enabled on VLC master, CPU usage is much lower.
