I see. But how is this hybrid decoder supposed to be used then? When I check vainfo / vdpauinfo for Polaris (RX 480), there is no trace of VP9, while...

[shmerl]

So what stopped AMD from doing it in Vega? Was it designed before Kaby Lake?...

[shmerl]

Why not? Intel support VPx in the hardware for several years already. And does libva / Mesa support support that hybrid process?...

[shmerl]

Michael Can you also post vainfo please? That would show what VA-API functionality is exposed.

And like others wondering above, what's going...

[shmerl]

Can anyone with Vega please post results of these:

vainfo
vdpauinfo

I wonder if they started supporting VPx in the hardware...

[shmerl]

They contribute to Mesa quite a bit....

[shmerl]

Yeah, SR-IOV would be neat to have. It will probably allow running Linux guests with accelerated graphics without needing an extra GPU or relying on flaky...

[shmerl]

I've heard that unfortunately it will be available only in pro cards. But may be I missed some update on that....

[shmerl]

That's just crazy. I hope AMD will reign in power consumption in their next generation Navi cards. Vega didn't do a good job at that.

I might...

[shmerl]

I'd prefer a Debian repo from AMD. But yeah, good idea. They can provide repos for different distors....

[shmerl]

I have other stuff I already build periodically. Adding kernel to that would take more time....

[shmerl]

Does anyone build it for Debian? I really wish Debian would just provide it as an extra package, until it's upstreamed.

[shmerl]

That doesn't produce anything similar to UA1707PGT....

[shmerl]

I don't have such number anywhere on the box, which has a serial number though, but searching by it produces nothing. I'd also need to take off a heavy...

[shmerl]

The problem is, it's not deterministic, so it's hard to narrow it down. No one reliably reproduced it yet as far as I know....

[shmerl]

I just did it for my setup. Here is an example how to do it (except I think they set second value incorrectly as negative, it should be reversed): ht...

[shmerl]

Just for the reference, Asrock X370 Taichi works very well with sensors out of the box.

[shmerl]

Yeah, Debian is slowish with updating it. I might simply buy an SSD to work around this horrendous bug

[shmerl]

That's a good question. I didn't quite understand that, since there was supposedly no new stepping of regular (non server) Ryzen CPUs....
