Problem installing libva (VAAPI), vainfo fails
- by satuon
I'm following a wiki on how to make VLC use the GPU in the Core i3 integrated graphics chipset, but I'm stuck at one of the first steps, installing VAAPI.
I installed libva1 and vainfo by using "sudo apt-get install libva1 vainfo", but when I run vainfo it says
libva: libva version 0.32.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
It should say
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
according to the wiki.
/usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so doesn't exist in my system, but I installed libva1 with apt-get.
