Mandriva 2010.1 already have correct libva & vdpau-video packages. Or just 
rebuild the 0.31.1.1.sds4-2mdv package from Cooker.

This means the generated libva1-0.31.1-2.i386.rpm is not from 
libva1_0.31.1-1+sds4_i386.deb. Please make sure to install that one, or 
just symlink /usr/lib/va/drivers/nvidia_drv_video.so to 
/usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so.

BTW, I don't think your Revo ION has a Crystal HD decoder, so just stick 
to the NVIDIA drivers + vdpau-video.
