So, I upgraded from 20.04 to 21.04 to answer that question. And no, it
doesn't work in 21.04 hirsute either.
And now, since the last known working version 20.0.4-2ubuntu1 is not in
hirsute repos I can't downgrade to a working state. :/
```
$ apt policy mesa-vdpau-drivers
mesa-vdpau-drivers:
Installed: 21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3
Candidate: 21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3
Version table:
*** 21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3 500

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
21.0.1-2 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages
$
```
This is the o/p I get:
