``--sdl-switch-mode``
Instruct SDL to switch the monitor video mode when going fullscreen.
+``vaapi-wayland``
+ Experimental Wayland output driver designed for use with VA API hardware decoding.
+ The driver is designed to avoid any GPU to CPU copies, and to perform scaling and
+ color space conversion using fixed-function hardware, if available,
+ rather than GPU shaders. This frees up GPU resources for other tasks.
+ Currently this driver is experimental and only works with the ``--hwdec=vaapi`` driver;
+ OSD is also not supported. Supported compositors : Weston and Sway.

``vaapi``
Intel VA API video output driver with support for hardware decoding. Note
that there is absolutely no reason to use this, other than compatibility.
