Let me start by saying that all of the 9.11 Alpha / Beta live builds have worked great for me but I installed RC1 the day it came out and VDPAU was broken.
I don't believe its actually an XBMC issue but perhaps just an out-dated driver issue with this specific Live build (I am not a Linux expert by any means).
Anyhow I fixed my install by doing the following.
From XBMC GUI:
Close XBMC (Not shut down your PC -- this can also be done via. SSH and killing X).
Login at the command prompt.
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...3-pkg1.run
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run
Note: At the end of the Nvidia driver installation it will prompt you asking if you wish to modify your current X config -- it defults to no (leave it this way).
sudo reboot
VDPAU is now working great in RC1.
