Description

Reports X-Video extension capabilities for video adaptors available to the current X display. It helps diagnose older video-overlay and playback paths used by some X11 applications and drivers.

The command is read-only and technical. Modern video playback often uses different acceleration APIs, so empty or limited output does not necessarily mean all video acceleration is broken.
