I've tried it on an HPPA system using X11 forwarding to an x86 with an older Nvidia graphics card which doesn't support all this modern video acceleration. I found that the ffmpeg_* test programs _did_ show the cat up the tree and the vaapi_* test programs did _not_ (because no hardware support was found on the remote display). I surmise that the ffmpeg_* programs support software fallback whereas the vaapi_* ones do not. Generally, though, I wonder whether HPPA should support this at all. Am I right in concluding that the alternative to keywording would be use.masking the `vaapi' keyword? (In reply to comment #1) > Am I right in concluding that the alternative to > keywording would be use.masking the `vaapi' keyword? yes; at least you should be right as I'm trying to get all this under the vaapi useflag for consistency keyworded ~arch for x86 Masked on alpha/arm/ia64/sparc Masked USE=vaapi for HPPA. As of right now, vaapi is pretty useless unless you've got the hardware listed here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi Since this depends on proprietary drivers or Intel hardware, I'm going to keep the mask for PowerPC at this time. If this changes (Open Source Nvidia/ATI support) we'll revisit this bug. Forgot to remove us from CC, sorry. Created attachment 261558 [details]
