[SOLVED] Mesa packages/drivers question

Hello,

Not sure if it belongs here or in Installation / Configuration, but I have a question: what are these packages/drivers for and do I need to install them?

Code: [Select]
world/vulkan-mesa-layers
world/libva-mesa-driver
world/mesa-vdpau

I'm using an old Nvidia card and didn't install the proprietary drivers. Nouveau is more than enough for me for everyday work.

TIA

If you have nVidia Nouveau you might need or want to install
Code: [Select]
libva-mesa-driver
and
Code: [Select]
mesa-vdpau
but have a look at the Arch Wiki's explanation first.
