Description

Wayland sessions can use a VDPAU-backed VA-API compatibility driver with XWayland support.

This package is useful for media applications running in environments where VA-API requests must pass through a VDPAU backend under XWayland. It does not add a visible app; it supports video acceleration for other software.

Results depend on compositor, driver, GPU, codec, and application. Test playback and decoding paths before assuming acceleration is active.
