14 Searching for VDPAU support on an Intel i695 GPU ... "libvdpau-va-gl" is
15 required.
16 That library may not be in the Gentoo Repository.
17 -----
18 If you are using Calculate Linux, you are using "layman".
19 Not sure how that overlay works.
20 ----
21 Intel seems to be bundling all the newer GPUs into the i915 driver OR
22 the intel driver.
23 ----
24 Be aware that "vaapi" and "vdpau" USE flags usually do not work together.
25 You will most likely have to spend some time resolving portage blockers
26 and compiling.
27 ----
28 This driver may have what you need : "x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver"
29 ---> Adding this in make.conf this is suggested :
30 ---> USE=vdpau && VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
31 ---> Emerge it, or re-emerge it with --newuse
32
33 ---> Or try this if that does not work :
34 ---> USE=vaapi && VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
35 ---> Emerge it, or re-emerge it with --newuse
36
37 Another driver to try is the "x11-libs/libva-intel-driver"
38 ---> Adding this in make.conf this is suggested :
39 ---> USE=vdpau && VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
40 ---> Emerge it, or re-emerge it with --newuse
41
42 ---> Or try this if that does not work :
43 ---> USE=vaapi && VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
44 ---> Emerge it, or re-emerge it with --newuse

46 Hope this helps.
