[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 6/7] hwcontext_vaapi: Try to create devices via DRM before X11

[Mark Thompson]

Opening the device via X11 (DRI2/DRI3) rather than opening a DRM render
node directly is only useful if you intend to use the legacy X11 interop
functions.  That's never true for the ffmpeg utility, and a library user
who does want this will likely provide their own display instance rather
than making a new one here.
