reassign 599329 vdpau-va-driver forcemerge 611974 599329 thanks Sorry for the mess here, this is from combining three emails...
I'm seeing the same segfault here, and rebuild with nostrip to get a more useful backtrace: anthony@Zia:~$ gdb vainfo GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0.1-debian Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

() After rebuilding with noopt as well, I found this: (gdb) up #3 0x00007ffff5e8f5a0 in __vaDriverInit_0_31 (ctx=0x60eb40) at vdpau_driver.c:291 291 return vdpau_Initialize_0_31_1(ctx); (gdb) l 286 287 /* Assume a NULL display implies VA-API 0.31.1 struct with the 288 vtable_tpi field placed just after the vtable, thus replacing 289 original native_dpy field */ 290 if (!ctx0->native_dpy) 291 return vdpau_Initialize_0_31_1(ctx); 292 293 return vdpau_Initialize_0_31_0(ctx); 294 } 295 #endif That comment looks damning. It is calling vdpau_Initialize_0_31_1, with the null native_dpy (as apparently expected), which is then ultimately being passed to XDisplayString, leading to a segfault. So, it seems there is an API mismatch.
