Enabling VA-API with LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME Environment Variable

[tabletseeker]

Hello!

My Libvirt VM has two GPUs, 1x Intel iGPU and 1x Virtio.

Is it not possible to add LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 to /etc/default/xrdp, so that xrdp.service will use that environment variable before launching and allow hardware acceleration with the correct GPU?

xrdp itself doesn't support VA-API yet - we've only just landed support for H.264 software acceleration.

You can possibly set the variable for your session, which might improve some rendering performance within the session itself.

Ah ok, I see. So this repo's egfx branch is the only implementation with h264 HW Accel (Encoding) available?
