[gentoo-user] VA-API support on Chrome

[gentoo-user] VA-API support on Chrome

[Grant]

Does anyone have VA-API working on Chromium or Chrome?  I've chased
down a few possibilities but ended up at dead ends.

 I never attempted to patch Chromium for vaapi but there are several posts
related to the issue that I've come across lately with reports of success.

Thanks for circling back!  After reading it over I'm not sure I'm up
to the challenge.  Any reason to believe it's gotten easier?

I'm ready to get this done.  Can you tell me where you got the Ubuntu
download from which you extracted the lib?

Is a package maintainer really working on an ebuild?
