If you are having issues with NVidia, you need to build a patched libva-vdpau-driver-chromium, see here for details.

This package is compiled with 'use_vaapi=true', but you need to pass --ignore-gpu-blacklist if you want to enable hardware video acceleration using VA-API.

I'm not familiar with chromium specifics to make this judgement, if you feel that this should be enabled for everyone, let's not limit this to chromium-vaapi only, please propose this for extra/chromium, whether by opening a bug report or contacting maintainer by email (see in PKGBUILD), and in your request explain why this would be beneficial so that it's easier to make the decision :) As soon as it appears in extra/chromium, it will get propagated to this pkg as well.

@maximbaz I don't think there would be any issues including the flag since you are already depending on freetype, The chromium package 'ungoogled-chromium' also includes the flag and they don't seem to have any issues.

Just reporting that I have the same problem of the GMA4500 also in HD2000 Sandybridge. Somebody knows what was the last version that worked with intel graphics? I don't have a powerful cpu so compiling times takes a lot, I appreciate any guidance you could give me. Regards.

xorgproto removal has been reverted: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/libx11&id=110a4c04847fd91cc476ffc570ac325c163a55e0

@danhyal: I would like to keep this package as close as possible to extra/chromium, and I don't know much about implications of adding use_system_freetype=true, have you considered proposing this to extra/chromium?

This package depends on xorgproto being installed. However, the dependency check before the build process does not check if xorgproto is installed.

So it can happen that the build errors out with

Would you consider adding the use_system_freetype=true build flag? It is useful for people using infinality patches for freetype. https://github.com/pdeljanov/infinality-remix/issues/3

I have a core 2 duo with GMA 4500MHD. With mpv-git vaapi works ok. Installed the last binay from today still got this error:

you are right, my bad.

I think you meant this comment for chromium-vaapi-bin ;)
