[Xine-vdpau] 8400M G86M GPU really working with VDPAU?

Unfortunately the 8400M has only 256! 

Here you can find the output of xine with a sample file:

What is worrying me are these lines:
No accelerated IMDCT transform found 
No accelerated IMDCT transform found

[h264 @ 0x8ba0890]B picture before any references, skipping              
[h264 @ 0x8ba0890]decode_slice_header error  

Is xine really using vdpau h264 codec or not?
