====== 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 =====
unset LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi
This next step is optional, and only needed if the **vainfo** command still does not work.
unset LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH
export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/
**NOTE:** If that path does not allow this to work, then often the following path will:
unset LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH
export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri/
----
===== Still not working =====
Try,
export LIBVA_DRI3_DISABLE=1
