How do I know it it's being used and if it's working properly?
Anyone know?
There is no Intel driver for vdpau. You can however use vdpau-va-gl:
https://github.com/i-rinat/libvdpau-va-gl
which is a libva backend for vdpau. You need to install libva, libva-intel-
driver, vdpau and libvdpau-va-gl.
You then select the vdpau backend by setting the environment variable:
VDPAU_DRIVER="va_gl"
I use this approach with my Intel chip, because mplayer only supports vdpau.
I finally got around to this and it worked fine. Thanks Ragnar.
Now, how to add it to the book? AFAICT, there is only the github
version. I can download a .zip file from there, but I'm sure the md5sum
will change. I can create a tar.xz version on anduin easily enough.
The last change was
It uses cmake -- the only driver for xorg that does. Probably not a big
deal. But it seems to want to install in /usr/local even if
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/xorg is specified. I can investigate that
later. It only installs libvdpau_va_gl.so{,.1} anyway so a simple cp
would work for that.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make check
cp -av libvdpau_va_gl $XORG_PREFIX/lib/vdpau/
echo "export VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl" >> /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh
Also 'make check' only works in an X environment.
There are two issues:
1. Where to put it? I can just add it to the libvdpau section or I can
create a separate section. I lean toward the libvdpau section.
2. Should I create a separate tarball? The last change was June 17, so
it is being updated. I lean toward just presenting the url and adding a
note about changing md5sums.
