For NVidia cards, I just download/install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-aaa.bb-no-compat32.run It's one file, and it's easy. To run mplayer with VDPAU, I just set vo=vdpau in the configuration file.
I assume it's the same for AMD cards. I don't have AMD cards, so don't know.
For those with Intel HD Graphics, how do you download/install driver? I went to Intel site, and it's utterly confusing. I just want Intel's driver, so I can try out VAAPI.
I thought the intel chips (except the few older atoms with powervr graphics) had open source drivers. On debian this package appears relevant: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/i965-va-driver Some info on using such a driver in case it doesn't automatically work: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/enable-hardware-acceleration-on-... -- Len Sorensen
