Re: git: ef1f7856c102 - main - multimedia/libva-nvidia-driver: better document how to run

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the better documentation.

On my (current amd64) boxes, 'nv-sgl vainfo' gives

Trying display: wayland
Trying display: x11
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit


Instead of /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so there is 
/usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia-drm_drv_video.so, installed by 
multimedia/libva-nvidia-driver.

#pkg info -l libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.14_1
libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.14_1:
         /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia-drm_drv_video.so
         /usr/local/share/licenses/libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.14_1/LICENSE
         /usr/local/share/licenses/libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.14_1/MIT
         /usr/local/share/licenses/libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.14_1/catalog.mk


Shouldn't vainfo be able to find the right lib?

Regards,
Rainer
