commit f23ab963c4f4ada2051588dfc85264aa2798dbf7 Author: Rinat <ibragimovrinat@mail.ru> Date: Fri Jan 17 10:47:44 2014 +0000 Provide DRI2DriverVDPAU for future compatibility Since 2010, DRI2 supports multiple driver names. That was added to ease selection of appropriate driver by libvdpau. As for today, intel driver support only DRI2DriverDRI (== 0), but not DRI2DriverVDPAU (== 1). Although there is no any hardware-specific VDPAU driver for intel video adapters at the moment, it would be easier to use generic drivers like libvdpau-va-gl by creating symlink named libvdpau_i965.so.1. That way appropriate driver will be selected in run time automatically: libvdpau_i965.so.1 on i965 equipped machines, and libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 on nvidia equipped ones. [ickle: Whilst I think this is a workaround for a brainfart in libvdpau that it defaults to libvdpau_nvidia.so rather than first to libdvpau_${DRI2DriverDRI} and then to a hardcoded libvdpau_backend.so, I have no better solution, and this does seem in accordance with the spec.] Signed-off-by: Rinat <ibragimovrinat@mail.ru> Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73507 |
