Ken, just checking. Should this be changed to _checked?

No. I do not know what actually uses it - I guess some sort of
video app _might_, but I'm unsure if my SandyBridge will be good
enough to take advantage of it. Also, I'm some hours away from
building any video apps on this machine.
Most of what google finds is for libva-vaapi-intel which is
something different (I tried that a couple of weeks ago on 7.6, but
my SandyBridge did not use the version in Armin's book and Arch seem
to be using a git version).
OTOH, there is a thread at ubuntu which suggests they build vlc
with --enable-libva and it can then be enabled in the configuration.
The configure script for vlc suggests libva is 'auto' so I'll try to
test that in the next day or two.
On my current build system I do not have Intel video, but my previous one did.
I had a library there that linked them in:
$ ldd i965_drv_video.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff487fd000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd31ce6b000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fd31cc67000)
libdrm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2 (0x00007fd31ca5a000)
libdrm_intel.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdrm_intel.so.1 (0x00007fd31c83a000)
libva.so.1 => /opt/xorg/lib/libva.so.1 (0x00007fd31c624000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fd31c31e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd31bf7b000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd31d420000)
libpciaccess.so.0 => /opt/xorg/lib/libpciaccess.so.0 (0x00007fd31bd73000)
My Xorg.0.log does not say explicitly what driver is in use, but it does say:
intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets:
i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G,
915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM,
Pineview G, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33,
GM45, 4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43
So if libva is linked in and Xorg works properly, then I's say the driver should
be marked checked.
