Video Problems on Ubuntu 11.04

[morety]

Hello guys, I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my fit-pc2i

then I followed the instructions here:
http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php/Insta ... buntu_9.10
to update the video drivers. Instead of karmic repository, I used lucid.

During installation I got the following problems:

Code: Select all

morety@fit-pc:~$ sudo apt-get install mplayer-vaapi
[sudo] password for morety:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mplayer-vaapi : Depends: libdirectfb-1.2-0 but it is not installable
                 Depends: libmpcdec3 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

So far, so good

I managed to install gnome-mplayer which has a Video Decoding Options. I choose vaapi from there but it does not work at all (I got blank screen). With the default configuration, the video does not work smoothly

Any ideas how to install mplayer-vaapi?

I tried to install the mplayer-vaapi from source, as suggested here:
http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=474

but I got this error:

Code: Select all

 ./checkout-patch-build.sh 
ERROR: you need VA API headers for this project
