[Libva] using libva video compression on system with no monitor

[rlandle at gdrs.com]

I was wondering if it was possible to use libva for gpu video compression/acceleration on intel HD3000 on a system with no monitor?
I have an fc-16 (linux 3.1) sytem in which I built the intel 2001Q4 graphic package.
I can run vainfo successfully while I am plugged into the system with keyboard/mouse/monitor.

However when I ssh into the system an attempt to run vainfo I get the following error:

libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

It must be possible to take advantage of the intel gpu video compression acceleration hardware on systems without a monitor/keyboard/mouse. No?


Thanks,
Bob
