VDPAU video output full of blinking green artefacts

Version: OpenSuse 13.2 x86_86 with latest updates
Kernel: 3.16.7-24-desktop
CPU: Intel i7 5500U
VLC: vlc-2.2.1-289.2.x86_64

When playing videos in VLC(Automatic video output or VDPAU) or Kaffeine I’m getting green artefacts all over the video. Apparently it is a bug related to Broadwell support in xf86-video-intel module and it is fixed in Mint for instance, but perhaps not upstream.

The same happens in Skype video chat and other video players.

I’d suggest trying to uninstall libvdpau-va-gl1 and use VA-API directly instead of VDPAU. (VLC and Kaffeine/Xine should switch automatically)
Maybe that works better…
