VAAPI 14.04: What's missing for a clean vainfo?
There are thousands of thousands help and wiki pages for outdated ubuntu version, so there is no clear solution for this. Who can try this and show me the reason for the different output?
eric@athena:~$ sudo vainfo (as root)
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_33
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.35 (libva 1.3.0)
vainfo: Driver version: AMD MMD 1.0

This looks pretty well, but my software like flash, handbrake does use the cpu instead gpu routines. So i found this
eric@athena:~$ vainfo (as user)
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: User requested driver 'fglrx'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
So here are bugs, the drivers cannot be found and the software falls back to cpu routines?
