VLC 1.1.11 and VAAPI: vlc_va_Setup failed

[The Duke]

Hello,

I am using VLC 1.1.11 on ubuntu 10.04, installed as mentioned in the videolan web site,
libva1, libva-x11-1, vainfo, i965-va-driver all installed from the same repo,
Here is the vainfo output:

libva: libva version 0.31.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.31
vainfo: Driver version: i965 Driver 0.1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD

So my GPU only supports MPEG2 hardware decoding, but when I run VLC, I get the following message:

[0x9a9ec7c] avcodec decoder debug: Available decoder output format 61 (Unknown)
[0x9a9ec7c] avcodec decoder debug: Available decoder output format 53 (PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD)
[0x9a9ec7c] avcodec decoder debug: Trying VA API
libva: libva version 0.31.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
[0x9a9ec7c] avcodec decoder error: vlc_va_Setup failed
[0x9a9ec7c] avcodec decoder debug: Available decoder output format 0 (PIX_FMT_YUV420P)

Any help on this problem ?
BTW, My graphic card is an Intel GMA X4500 (chipset G41)

If the video is not MPEG2, this is not a surprise.

Of course, the video files I tested are MPEG2
This is one sample:

I am having this problem when playing MPEG2 videos.
