> actually isn't a lockup of gpu, but crashes program(xbmc) out

Yea, XBMC crashes on me if I enable VDPAU - and my card (HD4890) doesn't have
UVD so it's also crashing trying to use shaders for mpeg2 (which work with
mplayer -vc ffmpeg12vdpau)

I wonder if others having the UVD lockups can also provoke them using mplayer
-vc ffmpeg12vdpau
