Either you wait for it to be packaged, or you submit patches to make it happen sooner. Just don't complain to distribution maintainers if you break your stuff yourself. > FYI libva1 + intel VAAPI driver + vlc using hardware acceleration > via VAAPI is a no go as I hit a known assert in libva. I'm not sure how it's related to what we're discussing here. > BTW: apparently the experimental X11 pre 7.6 and the intel driver > are not compatible wich may be another reason to build from source > if you want hardware acceleration with Intel drivers: […] That's nothing like compatibility. That's about keeping room to put packages for users to test; that's why -video-intel in experimental isn't built against X Server 1.9, yet; that's not being incompatible. IOW that's what I suspected from your subject: you got it wrong.
