It looks like it's wlroots based so there's no (official) support for nvidia proprietary drivers. I've been wanting to try wayland/gbm on nvidia, but...

If there's DMA-BUF support (not clear to me from the changelog) that's the last piece for video hardware acceleration over vdpau-to-vaapi in firefox for...

dmabuf means proprietary nvidia users could get vp9 hardware acceleration in firefox via vdpau over vaapi with the appropriate patched packages

[aphysically]

I think this will allow vpdau-over-vaapi hardware acceleration in Firefox (the existing implementation requires dmabuf support, which is why nvidia-drivers...

If 5.8 goes EOL before they have a 5.9 driver, it wouldn't even be the first time that has happened since the 5.4 LTS. I think 5.6 took about a month...

Maybe I misunderstood your comment on the other thread; I had understood it to be saying nvidia needed to re-implement a radix function. At any case,...

I don't see anything new about Linux 5.9 support; I'm crossing my fingers it's not gonna take too long.

The dmabuf is needed specifically for Firefox's implementation. The GPU video decode with vaapi in principle works fine with the patched vdpau-to-vaapi...

It looks like that GPL shim stuff messes up nvidia uvm. I wonder if they will be quick to fix or if GPGPU nvidia users will be forced back down to 5.4...

Not for FIrefox - you can use the vpdau driver for vaapi to use vaapi in other applications, but the Firefox implementation requires DMA-BUF which is...

It looks like the timing is right for that to be the source of the Ares6 and Kraken regressions

Yeah the vaapi-on-x11 shipped in FF 80, but with a bug that made it inoperable. Gentoo (and probably some other dists) backported the fix to the FF 80...

Looking forward to hearing about the TensorFlow regression and what happens with the Apache/HB/nginx regression. It would be cool if the TF fixes if needed...

Well, this doesn't have a lot of consequence on Linux anyway except for stuff like mpv. Even the new firefox x11 vaapi support doesn't work on nvidia's...

Gentoo pulled this release due to some bugs stopping some systems from booting. Last I saw upstream is still investigating it.

Here's the...
