Salix OS

hello,
libva 2.xx introduce big improvment for intel hardware encoder and decoder,unfortunately the slackware 15.0 release use the 2.13 branch because the 2.14 was published too late.

libva2.14.0, libva-intel-driver2.4.1, libva-utils-2.14.0 fix encoding problems and more.


What is the best way to use for fixing the problem? (salix repository, sourcery, individual slackbuild...)

Yes: you are a boss

Another problem with intel graphic, with the new libdrm package , intel use iris HD (iHD) driver by default, MESA and VA-API don't work on intel GMA (i915) and intel HD (i965), it's need to use the "User environment variable requested driver".

/etc/profile or /home/user/.profile
add in my case:

export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
# export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i915
# export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

I don't ask you to make a option menu liveCD it's just for information.
