libvdpau takes the VDPAU driver "vendor" name from the DRI2 extension.
If you have Intel HD Graphics, that will be i965. The error is printed
by libvdpau.

The problem lies between libvdpau, and the VDPAU driver or lack thereof.
vdpauinfo, mplayer, mpv and VLC can do nothing about it. In my opinion,
the VA-GL driver should create the libvdpau_i965.so, e.g. as a link to
libvdpau_va_gl.so

** Package changed: vlc (Ubuntu) => libvdpau-va-gl (Ubuntu)

** Package changed: vdpauinfo (Ubuntu) => libvdpau (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared

Bug description:
  This has been bothering me at least since precise (although there the
  missing link went to libvdpau_nvidia.so which was all the more
  mysterious since I do not own NVIDIA hardware).  In numerous cases do
  I get a warning that libvdpau_i965.so is being tried to be accessed
  but it fails.  I also can't find that file anywhere on my system or in
  the Ubuntu repository.  I tried poking around with ldd to find out
  where the call to that lib comes from but so far unsuccessful.

  $ vdpauinfo
  display: :0   screen: 0
  Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Error creating VDPAU device: 1

  libvdpau1:i386 is version 0.7-1 and vdpauinfo is 0.1-1
