Description Ulenrich 2016-06-11 21:37:58 UTC 
/me ever wondered about vdpau is constantly logging errors.

Today I recognized I am having
x11-libs/libva -vdpau
x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver

but showing: 
---
# equery d  x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver
 * These packages depend on x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver:
x11-libs/libva-1.7.0 
                     (video_cards_nouveau 
---
This my USE having "-vdpau" for libva 
makes no sense at all. Isn't it?

I assure you I am dumb and blind. 
But shouldn't there
a little help for such guys as me 
per USE dependency in the libva ebuild 
?

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474976

Long story short: nvidia cards can use VAAPI (libva) only via libva-vdpau-driver, other cards, e.g. radeon, support VAAPI and also can use VDPAU via libva-vdpau-driver and that's what vdpau USE flag for.
