Created attachment 198685 [details] Corrected VAAPI/VDPAU config help The config help for graphics/mesa-dri is incorrect for the VAAPI option. I am attaching what I believe is correct text.
1. Changes have to be submitted in unified diff(1) format. 2. VDPAU/VAAPI in mesa-dri is for Gallium drivers but i915/i965 are not 3. VDPAU is only supported by r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau 4. VAAPI is only supported by r600, radeonsi, nouveau 5. drm-kmod meta port may select drm-legacy-kmod which lacks VDPAU/VAAPI 6. bug 230298 already updates pkg-help to match recent state
Sorry Jan that's not correct. Correction: VAAPI is hardware decoding for Intel GPUs. VDPAU is dito for Radeon and Nvidia.
(In reply to Johannes Lundberg from comment #2) VAAPI on Intel requires multimedia/libva-intel-driver VAAPI on NVIDIA requires multimedia/libva-vdpau-driver VDPAU on NVIDIA requires nvidia-driver + multimedia/libvdpau See also https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-Iris-Gallium
Yes I missed that nouvou (or however itβs spelled) does support vaapi as well.
(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #3) > VAAPI on Intel requires multimedia/libva-intel-driver More options based on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration - multimedia/libva-intel-driver can partially accelerate VP9 decoding/VP8 encoding via multimedia/libva-intel-hybrid-driver - multimedia/libva-intel-driver can be replaced (on Broadwell or newer) with multimedia/libva-intel-media-driver (LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD)
