For me it works for ATI/fglrx with these steps: 1) Install fglrx and libva1 1.0.12-1~xup from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates 2) Download and install http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/xvba-video_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb (the version from the repositories seems to be missing functions) 3) libva looks in /usr/lib/dri/ for its drivers and xvba-video installs in /usr/lib/va/ so create a symolic link to fix this: ln -s /usr/lib/va/fglrx_drv_video.so /usr/lib/dri/ (see comment #9) 4) set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME to fglrx (export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx) eg in ~/.bashrc to prevent vlc crashes (see comment #9) 5) Optional, install vainfo and run the comment to see that everything is working correctly, for me (ATI HD5870) it returns: libva: libva version 0.32.0 libva: User requested driver 'fglrx' libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA API version: 0.32 vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.8.0 vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
So to return to this bug report, adding the LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx and creating the symbolic link worked for me as a fix/workaround. So I suppose it should be included in the/a package so it is set automatically? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773466 Title: libva1 trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so ends with segmentation fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libva/+bug/773466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
