vdpinfo is a tool to determine whether the graphics chipset supports VDPAU. Its usage is described (for example) here: http://www.fedorawiki.de/index.php/NVIDIA_VDPAU#unterst.C3.BCtzt_meine_Grafikkarte_VC-1 (german) Translation: vdpinfo show the decoding capabilities in detail: # vdpinfo The output will look like this: > Decoder capabilities: > > name level macbs width height > ------------------------------------ > MPEG1 0 8192 2048 2048 > MPEG2_SIMPLE 3 8192 2048 2048 > MPEG2_MAIN 3 8192 2048 2048 > H264_MAIN 41 8190 2032 2048 > H264_HIGH 41 8190 2032 2048 > VC1_SIMPLE 1 8190 2048 2048 > VC1_MAIN 2 8190 2048 2048 > VC1_ADVANCED 4 8190 2048 2048 Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 186097 [details] experimental ebuild Adding an experimental ebuild. Please take a look at the LICENSE variable, since I do not know whether his license is a custom one, or just an unlabelled known license. Also note that src_prepare() could generate the internally used VDPDeviceImpl.h header by means of functions.py (untested). I choose to not do this, since it seems unnecessary, but it may prove to be necessary on other systems in the future. I choose to use a || section in DEPEND, even though it is not necessary yet, so everyone can add other drivers supporting VDPAU with ease. (These may be x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau or x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd in the future.) "Supporting driver" is everyone providing vdpau/vdpau.h and vdpau/vdpau_x11.h. (So possibly other packages than "drivers", i.e. in case the API definition is included in directly X11.)

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) 'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to this bug. This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main tree. Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild. Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.
