I have been using vdpau on amd as outlined below now for over a month, and have had \
no hiccups, no crashes, and myth/xubuntu 14.04 has been solid since I installed the \
beta. I rebooted it once when I did an update to 14.04 that required a new kernel \
version.
Prior to 14.04, I couldn't get it working well on the amd machine below.
