This doesn't seem to work with native X11  at least with
libva-driver-vdpau building.

$ ls /data/m/pkgsrc/multimedia/libva-driver-vdpau/work/.x11-buildlink/include
GL
X11
epoxy
expat.h
expat_external.h
gbm.h
libdrm
libkms
libsync.h
pciaccess.h
pixman-1
va
xcb
xf86drm.h
xf86drmMode.h

My pkgsrc Tag is pkgsrc-2021Q1, and files/xorg.libvdpau is present in
pkgtools/x11-links but to no avail.

I have a message with xine complaining that it doesn't find some vdpau
backend (at first it was libvdpau_r600, but Rhialto gave the correct
information that this one was in MesaLib; and now xine complains about
some "libvdpau_nvidia.so" backend it doesn't find, while I have a
radeon...) and I simply tried to install what I found related to
vdpau in order to get rid of the message, not knowing if it could
have an impact on the support of some formats (xine displays what I want
to play, so the messages are an annoyance but not a failure messages).

Best,
