Hm ... I didn't pay attention to that. Yeah, they do require catalyst at runtime (or is it build time?), but it is open source program, so I can't really figure out if that is apropriate for BLFS. I think same thing is for VDPAU driver, it needs nvidia_vdpau that is in NVidia binary driver. I didn't catch anywhere anything about using open source software that has something to do with closed source one in external links. I think it is worth mentioning tough. Or not? Just for a note, I have tested Intel stuff and hardware decoding works flawlessly with VLC and Flash Player. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
