Public bug reported:
After installing the fglrx driver as sugetsted, there is no vieo acceleration
availiable. This can be quite an inconvenience for a novice user who can't
watch HD movies even though their device was advertised for being capable of
doing so.
To make video acceleration in e.g. vlc player work with AMD GPUs, the packages
xvba-va-driver (and possibly gstreamer0.10-vaapi) need to be installed and
therefore should be automatically selected when installing the restricted
driver.
