- See the new X xserver command in the upstart script which disables Backingstore (tearing) by default
- Custom kernel, custom mesa has been dropped, use ppa-purge to uninstall those repositories before upgrading
- The vdpau drivers are not in the libg3dvl2-mesa package anymore (remove it manually) and install the mesa-vdpau-drivers package
Edit: Make really sure you purge the ppas! ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/mesa and ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/test (if you have the latter)
I upgraded to trusty but it looks like the vdpau drivers aren't loaded right?
Code:
$ DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers

mesa-vdpau-drivers is already the newest version.
EDIT:
After wrestling with this for a bit I figured out that I was missing xserver-xorg-video-ati after the upgrade. Installing that fixed it.
Also, a bit off topic, but I had to modify the kernel source to add the hardware ID for my new harmony ultimate remote to the hci files to use it as a "PS3 BD Remote"
I'd love to know how we go about getting that added upstream to the kernel...
Thanks~
