I also failed to get VDPAU acceleration on 10.10. The fix was to create
a link to /usr/lib/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so in /usr/lib
(it already existed in /usr/lib32) like so:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so
/usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so

After this, both xbmc (Dharma) and "mplayer -vo vdpau" seemed to use vdpau OK.
Prior to fix, the error was: "Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

AFAIK this affects 64bit systems only.
