I have an old laptop with a Pentium II (686-pae) and an ATI Rage 128
(r128.ko)  Mobility M3 video card.  When attempting to run vlc,
kaffeine, or mpv, they attempt o open up libvdpau_nvidia.so, which
doesn't work.  I've tried disabling hardware decoding in VLC, but it
still tries to open that library.  I think it's related to
libavcodec55.so, which all three programs depend on.

Any ideas on how to turn of hardware decoding?

I don't know about the other players or how to fix the system default, in
vlc you could try to go to Tools -> Preferences -> Video -> Output
modules and set Video output module to X11 or XVideo.

Another thought: are there any nvidia packages installed on your system?
This file appears to be from nvidia-vdpau-driver, so maybe you just need
to remove that package?
