 ====== Ubuntu - GPU - VA-API - Override the driver for VA-API ======
+The driver for VA-API can be overridden by using the **LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME** environment variable.
+  * AMD:
+    * For AMDGPU driver use radeonsi.
+  * Intel graphics:
+    * For libva-intel-driver use i965.
+    * For intel-media-driver use iHD.
+  * NVIDIA:
+    * For Nouveau use nouveau.
+    * For NVIDIA VDPAU use vdpau.
+    * For NVIDIA NVDEC use nvidia.
+----
+===== Example =====
+<code bash>
+unset LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME
+export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi
+</code>
+This next step is optional, and only needed if the **vainfo** command still does not work.
+<code bash>
+unset LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH
+export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:** If that path does not allow this to work, then often the following path will:
+<code bash>
+unset LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH
+export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri/
+</code>
+</WRAP>
+----
+===== Still not working =====
+Try,
+<code bash>
+export LIBVA_DRI3_DISABLE=1
+</code>
