The issue probably centers around the Mali GPU if it has one. ARM stopped providing x11 drivers, expect everyone to jump to Wayland. Hope they get sued. I've spent most of a week trying to get Vulkan or OpenGL ES running on an Odroid N2 and a Rock64. Gross misrepresentation in my opinion.
Hello,
I'm trying to get accelerated video and/or decoding working on a PINE
A64+ (2 GiB RAM) on bullseye.
With xserver-xorg-video-fbdev I get about 180 frames in glxgears with
1.4 load (openbox at 1920 x 1080).
This is usable only for basic tasks, e.g. Kodi starts, but the interface
has significant lag.
Should xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo (ITP #760025) help? I tried installing
the package from Debian Multimedia, but I only get a blank screen.
The upstream project[1] seems unmaintained (latest commit Oct.2015).
What (else) is still missing for accelerated video?
Playing 1080p videos (VLC or Kodi) works, but is way to slow (software
decoding only).
According to [2] Cedrus support was merged in Linux 5.0, but there is no
CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI_CEDRUS as mentioned on [3].
Additionally, as far as I understand, for accelerated video decoding the
VAAPI backend libva-v4l2-request is also needed, but it's not packaged
for Debian (yet?).
Should I file an RFP for it?
