Bug Description

Intel Cedarview based platforms need closed source binary drivers for accelerated graphics support.
There are 3 packages to be added to 12.04 to support laptops using such hardware.

Description: VAAPI driver for Intel GMA3600 (Cedarview ) GPUs.
 The VA-API (Video Acceleration API) enables hardware accelerated video
 decode/encode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation
 etc.) for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4
 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and VC-1/VMW3). It provides an interface
 to fully expose the video decode capabilities in today's GPUs.
 .
 This package contains the video decode & encode driver backend for the
 Imagination Technologies PowerVR chip used on Cedarview chipsets.
