There is nothing to prove. LFS outright says so. https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blf...vn/x/mesa.html

Well, I wanted you to prove the claim itself, not the mere fact that LFS claims something.

libva-2.12.0 (to provide VA-API support for some gallium drivers, note that there is a circular dependency. You must build libva first without EGL and GLX support, install this package, and rebuild libva),

But anyway. You seem to be misreading the manual. It simply says that there is a circular dependency, not that "if Mesa is updated, VAAPI and VDPAU and every other library or application that depends on them need to be recompiled as well".

Circular dependencies do not imply any sort of API/ABI instability.

A laptop whose battery cannot even spare that bit of power to supply a 6w processor with enough juice to play a 720p or 1080p video for a few minutes deserves to be thrown to the trashcan.

[emphasis mine -- intelfx]

And again you project your own usecases onto everyone. Also, not all laptop processors are 6w.

That just can't be true. Can you prove it? I can prove the inverse.

Sorry, not everyone is living tethered to the electrical outlet. Hardware offload is vital for power efficiency.

VAAPI and VDPAU is not worth the effort.

According to LFS, if Mesa is updated, VAAPI and VDPAU and every other library or application that depends on them need to be recompiled as well.

That just can't be true. Can you prove it? I can prove the inverse.

Way too much work for me when all I want to do is just to build the latest Mesa release. So it stays wilfully broken on my system. Considering how an Apollo Lake-era Atom has enough juice to play a 1080p video on software, it's a reasonable tradeoff.

VAAPI works fine on my Firefox and my mpv.

[Sonadow]

VAAPI is just borked depending on the hardware. none of my older intel laptops work with it. but brave browser works fine.

VAAPI and VDPAU is not worth the effort.

Open about:compat in Firefox and see for yourself. Living sober is not that bad.

You win one internetz for today!

You're an absolute prick. And to think, I was thinking to myself "Man, birdie has been posting awesome shit lately."

Loser in life and not a single soul respects you online. Try way harder and never quote me again. Not interested in anything you have to say.

I checked all of the websites - they all appear to render well and the issues listed are fixed.

Presumably any sites in that list are fixed, right? And not having any problems or forcing someone to use a different browser.
