Description Conrad Kostecki gentoo-dev

The default gentoo ebuild disables all time the support for crystalhd. Could you enable this by default or enable a use flag for this?

"--disable-crystalhd" change to "--enable-crystalhd" or $(use_enable crystalhd)

This enable crystalhd, it would be possible to use the video accelerator.

media-tv/mythtv, for example, has such use flag called crystalhd

Comment 2 Paweł Stankowski 2014-12-14 16:42:50 UTC

Unfortunately, libcrystalhd required to enable that use flag is not in portage, yet. So this use flag cannot be enabled until some volunteer starts to maintain that package.
