As a server I didn't have a .xinitrc so I copied one from a machine where I had specified VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi. Specifying that seems to be unnecessary on any of my current machines.
With parole I still cannot watch anything, but xine works for some of the commercial mov files and mp4s I have (but not *recent* rips nor any mkv) and wmv (as well as ogv). I see that xine falls back to i965: This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.12. (c) 2000-2019 The xine Team. libva info: VA-API version 1.8.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_8 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 The iHD_drv_video.so comes from https://github.com/intel/media-driver/ (no releases, depends on https://github.com/intel/gmmlib which again has no releases) but since I'm not planning to offload encoding to the hardware I see no poitn in trying to use that. ĸen > -- > Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to > say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. > -- Unseen Academicals > -- > http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. -- Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
