libva + xvba crashing vlc and mplayer on F15

[5er_levart]

I have been trying unsuccessfully to establish a working libva + xvba environment on Fedora 15 / x86_64. It worked on F14. What I did on F14 was the following:

- installed ati fglrx driver 11.4 via ATI installer
- installed libva RPM package from rpmfusion
- manualy unpacked the xvba_drv_video.so and fglrx_drv_video.so symlink from splitted-desktop distribution of xvba-video_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb and put it to the appropriate folder for libva to find it.

I did the same on Fedora 15. I used the latest 11.6 fglrx driver (which works correctly on F15) and latest xvba-video_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb. Now when I issue vainfo, I get:

libva: libva version 0.32.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.8.0
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD


...but when I try to run vlc (with hardware acceleration enabled) or specialy compiled version of mplayer (-vo vaapi), they both crash with segmentation fault. For example the mplayer:

Has anybody had similar problems?
