Enabling hardware acceleration in VLC on ATI Aug 24th 2012, 22:13 Hello all As you may know XvBA is not really work and yet buggy, so we can't use XvBA for decoding H.264 in most cases. I figure it out that we can use the DRI driver for hardware acceleration. First you must add these lines to /etc/environment Code: LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx_dri LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib64/dri Then you must force the driver to load dri driver (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) Code: Section "Module"     Load  "dri" EndSection and add this to the "Section "Device" Code: Option        "DRI" "on" Now restart your X to apply changes then check if DRI driver loaded correctly Code: set | grep LIBVA the result must be Code: LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib64/dri LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx_dri To active hardware acceleration open VLC and go to Tools-->Preferences-->Input & Codecs-->Use GPU accelerated decoding Note: this method require the ATI proprietary driver (fglrx) Have a lot of fun!
