libvisio doesn't support VDX.
libvisio supports ver6 and ver11 of VSD format (Visio2k to 2010).
Check what version of VSD file you have and attach to the bug if it's 6 or 11.

How to find a version in VSD file w/o Visio.

1. Open it in "oletoy" (https://gitorious.org/re-lab), go to the 'VisioDocument'->'Header'. Version would be shown on the top right panel.

2. Open VSD file in any hexviewer.
Find "Visio (TM) Drawing" text [56 69 73 69 6F 20 28 54 4D 29 20 44 72 61 77 69
6E 67], skip "0D 0A" and next 6 bytes. Next byte would be "0B" for version 11, "06" for version 6 and so on.

Since reporter did not add any information and since the Visio import works for thousands of people out there, closing as WORKSFORME. If there is a new developement, feel free to reopen with relevant information.
