[Libva] Libva Digest, Vol 27, Issue 19

[Dan Naughton]

I was trying to compile mplayer with vaapi support.  I downloaded the latest
svn release:

$ ./configure --enable-vaapi
Current branch master is up to date.
Unknown parameter: --enable-vaapi


I have libva and libva-devel rpms installed - but that doesn't seem to make
a difference.  Is vaapi not part of mplayer's build options?

Thanks
