VDPAU troubles, "Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so" [14.1,current]
I'm marking the thread solved for now.
It turned out that the package "libvdpau-va-gl-0.3.4-x86_64-1ponce" created some scrips in /etc/profile.d/ that set the VDPAU_DRIVER environment variable to va_gl and these files did not get removed on package uninstallation. I am now merely running libvdpau-1.1 and the proprietary NVIDIA driver. vdpauinfo now shows progress. Code:
vdpauinfo I am not very experienced with VDPAU so I can't give much info from myself, if there is something I should post, please tell me. The error I am getting: [VS] Software VDPAU backend library initialized libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1 vdpauinfo dump: http://pastebin.com/qt96c8H0 The VDPAU tab in the nvidia-settings tool reports API version 1, with no supported codecs listed. I'm on Slackware 14.1 current, 64 bit, multilib. I'm using an Nvidia GTX 750Ti card. I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver version 352.30, straight from the *.run package, not the slackbuild one. I have the following libraries installed: libva-1.5.1-x86_64-1 libva-compat32-1.5.1-x86_64-1compat32 libva-intel-driver-1.5.1-x86_64-1 libva-intel-driver-compat32-1.5.1-x86_64-1compat32 libvdpau-1.1-x86_64-1 libvdpau-va-gl-0.3.4-x86_64-1ponce vdpauinfo-0.9-x86_64-1ponce The ponce packages have been built via sbopkg and the current sBO repo. I have not been able to build the vdpau-video package. http://pastebin.com/ypmWmWF7 is the build failure dump. I have tried removing the packages and reinstalling the driver, it offered to install (some deprecated?) wrappers that come with the driver package for me. That didn't solve the problem. I was prompted to supply the libvdpau-va-gl library in that case. Is this something that can be fixed? Or did I perhaps buy a card that doesn't support VDPAU under Linux? (Edit: Internet searches suggest it has support for it, some reviewers actually calling it excellent.https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...50linux&num=13 ) |
Maybe, as a quick try, grab Alien Bob's vlc package as that has vdpau built in and see if it works.
I can't access pastebin at work, so I am unable to help you with your compile error, but hopefully someone else can chime in. |

Some build log highlights: Code:
checking for GL/gl.h... yes I have tried building the 14.1 version of the package but it doesn't compile either. Don't have the log for that on hand right now though. I can add it, if it might be helpful. |
