I have 20.04 installed on a Zotac Zbox. ZBOX-ID41

 lspci | grep VGA
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [ION] (rev a2)

 vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_0
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.7 (libva 2.6.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems VDPAU backend for VA-API -
0.7.4
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main              : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG4Simple            : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG4AdvancedSimple    : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Simple              : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Main                : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced            : VAEntrypointVLD

The NVIDIA acceleration does not seem to be happening - even though vainfo
shows present.
libvdpau is installed.

When I run the 1080p video with totem I get many frame drops.

Is there something special on 20.04 I need to to do and get NVIDIA hardware
acceleration going ?

Thanks,

Jerry
