Not sure what went wrong, but I upgraded from Nvidia 256.53 drivers to Nvidia 260.19.29 drivers on my Ubuntu system, I couldn't compile xbmc with --enable-vdpau. I would receive the following error:

Code:

checking vdpau/vdpau.h usability... no
checking vdpau/vdpau.h presence... no
checking for vdpau/vdpau.h... no
configure: error: == Could not find libvdpau. VDPAU support disabled. ==

Just reverted back to 256.53 and it builds with no problem.

Update
Well, reading through the release notes for 260, Nvidia is not installing the header files anymore. Link to release notes.

I had installed the libvdpau1 package, but it still wouldn't build.

Nvidia no longer packages libvdpau, you have to install it yourself.

I had installed the libvdpau1 package, but it still wouldn't build.

You need also vdpau-dev package.

I just compiled 35744 last night with no problems on a Lucid base. I have the 260.19.29 with both libvdpau1 and libvdpau-dev packages.
