Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 275360: graphics/mesa-dri: enable Vulkan Video support after Mesa >= 23 update https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275360 --- Description --- Similar to ports aada4209a3b0. Vulkan Video extensions are part of Vulkan drivers (mesa-dri). It's an alternative API to VA-API (mesa-gallium-va, libva-*driver), VDPAU (mesa-gallium-vdpau, nvidia-driver), NVDEC (nv-sglrun + nvidia-driver), QSV (intel-media-sdk, onevpl), AMF (unported). Upstream support enabled by https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/c90e5ddc710a (removal of beta ifdefs) but runtime is still gated by environment variables probably due to insufficient QA (validation on all supported hardware). There're also too few open source consumers, and many video players are OpenGL-only. $ pkg install mpv mesa-dri # if built by poudriere $ export ANV_VIDEO_DECODE=1 RADV_PERFTEST=video_decode $ mpv --vo=gpu-next --gpu-api=vulkan --hwdec=vulkan /path/to/file.mp4 [...] Using hardware decoding (vulkan). VO: [gpu-next] 1920x1080 vulkan[nv12] [...] Tested under X11 (Xwayland) and Wayland (Sway) on Intel Skylake GT2 (0x1912) inside 12.4/13.2 amd64 jail with drm-515-kmod (5.15-lts-focal per bug 274770 to avoid recent DMABUF regressions) on -CURRENT kernel and X11/Wayland sockets passed through.
