+This package contains the libvdpau wrapper library and the libvdpau_trace
+debugging library, along with the header files needed to build VDPAU
+applications. To actually use a VDPAU device, you need a vendor-specific
+implementation library, like the one shipped with nvidia's binary graphics
+driver.
+
+NOTE: Be careful when using this together with the nvidia binary installer
+(the .run file), as the same files included in this package are also included
+in the binary installer. As upstream recommends splitting those files into a
+separate package, this shouldn't cause any issues, but in case it does, you
+have been warned. There is no such problem when using this together with the
+nvidia-driver SlackBuild on SlackBuilds.org.
