Bumblebee + Vdpau + Gentoo

[Vylaern]

Hi

I use bumblebee 3.0-r1 on my Gentoo system and simple application like glxspheres works fine. The problem is when I am trying to use programs with compiled vdpau flag - eg. mplayer2 or mlt (part of kdenlive). Doesn't matter i use $ melt or $ optirun melt or mplayer2 - error message is the same:

$ melt DSC_4387.MOV 
  Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". 
  Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". 
  Segmentation fault

$ optirun melt DSC_4387.MOV 
  xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "/etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key" 
  Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". 
  Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".

mplayer
...
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". 
 Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". 
 [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
...

What to do? I could not find any solution for my problem.

VDPAU doesn't work since the Intel card displays everything and VirtualGL can only handle OpenGL calls, not driver features.

But someone said it is possible to have vdpau with bumblebee:

or here:

Someone else told me to do:
...
$ export DISPLAY=:8
...

and after this looks like it works (Bumblebee + Vdpau), but I can not see a screen - eg. Mplayer2 bellow:
...
$ optirun mplayer2 -vo vdpau /mnt/video/kdenlive/robocze/DSC_4387.MOV

To sumarize - we have 2 options on 2 DISPLAY's = 4 options
As you can see Option 4 works - but eg. in Mplyer we can not see the video, after switching into Dispaly 8.

OPTION 1 (Display 0)
$ vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory).
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

OPTION 2 (Display 0)
$ optirun vdpauinfo
xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "/etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key"
display: :0 screen: 0
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

And 2 others OPTIONS after:
$ export DISPLAY=:8

OPTION 3 (Display 8)
$ vdpauinfo
vdpauinfo: cannot connect to X server :8

OPTION 4 (Display 8) - Its WORKS!
$ optirun vdpauinfo
xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "/etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key"

Yes, all off that is being done off-screen. Unless you've found a way to transport the actual VDPAU video from :8 to :0, this is old news.

Sorry, I tough I am doing something wrong and there is a solution :(
