I didn't mean to so that. Thanks, Greg, for the explanation on VAAPI use. It's still a bit confusing. Does this mean that building mesa with VAAPI enabled is meaningless for Intel processors? As far as firefox is concerned, I tried running it with the "MOZ" variables Jan listed, but I still got the same status message in about:support. I also looked though about:config for relevant settings, but came up blank. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
