[BUG, FIXED] AMDGPU/radeonsi no h264 acceleration?

[steve_v]

Having just upgraded to an AMD card (6700xt), coming from many years of running Nvidia boards and having read what (rather sparse) wikis I could find, I expected to have hardware video decoding for H264 via vaapi and vdpau. Apparently both are supported by the xorg radeonsi driver... However:

Code: Select all

$ vainfo 
libva info: VA-API version 1.10.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/radeonsi_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_10
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.10 (libva 2.10.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Mesa Gallium driver 21.1.6 for AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (NAVY_FLOUNDER, DRM 3.41.0, 5.13.11-gentoo-x86_64, LLVM 12.0.1)
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main              : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone                   : VAEntrypointVideoProc

Code: Select all

$ vdpauinfo 
display: :0   screen: 0
API version: 1
Information string: G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0

Eh? Really? In 2021? This?
Surely I'm missing something obvious here, right? I mean H264 has been around for a good while now and all.

Ed.
Oh, FFS. Testing patches now.

kernel 5.13.10+ should work

kernel 5.13.10+ should work

It's a regression in 5.13.11, fixed in 5.13.12 which just hit portage. Someone misplaced a half-dozen lines.
