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. |
/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 ?
