+This environment variable can be set, independently of its value, to disable
+the drivers white list. By default only intel and mesa va drivers are loaded
+if they are available. The rest are ignored. With this environment variable
+defined, all the available va drivers are loaded, even if they are deprecated.

+  <title><envar>LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME</envar></title>
+
+  <para>
+This environment variable can be set with the drivers name to load. For

+<userinput>gallium</userinput>.

+  <para>
+This environment variable can be set to a colon-separated list of paths (or a
+semicolon-separated list on Windows).  libva will scan these paths for va
+drivers.
