Hardware acceleration disabled with nvidia graphics card

jochen01

Hi,

Vivaldi (5.4.2753.51) does not use hardware acceleration with Nvidia graphics card.

inxi -G:
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] driver: nvidia v: 510.85.02
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.3 driver: X: loaded: nvidia
    unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa gpu: nvidia resolution:
    1: 1920x1200~60Hz 2: 1920x1200~60Hz 3: 1920x1200~60Hz
  OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2
    v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 510.85.02

I tried to start vivaldi with `vivaldi --use-gl=desktop:

ibva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so has no function __vaDriverInit_1_0

Distribution is Ubuntu 22.04.

Hardware acceleration works perfect with firefox.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for a sulution.

Hi, Firefox use it´s own implementation, most Chromium based browser does not support Video Encode on Linux.
The most other features are supported, try to enable Override software rendering list flag. These flags are experimental, if it not work or cause issues, don´t forget you have this enabled.

vivaldi://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist

Cheers, mib

@jochen01 vdpau-va-driver is installed? Seems Canonical broke something.

For me (Pop!_OS 22.04), Nvidia driver is 515.65.01

Hardware acceleration is working (GTX 1030).

Did not help. I do not expect working video encode. But hardware enabled video decoding should work nowadays.

Thank you for trying to help.

Don't know. There is no package with this name available in Canonical repositories. Somethung very similar may be:

apt list --installed | grep -i vdpau:

libvdpau-va-gl1/jammy,now 0.4.2-1build2 amd64 [installed]
libvdpau1/jammy,now 1.4-3build2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
mesa-vdpau-drivers/jammy-updates,now 22.0.5-0ubuntu0.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
vdpau-driver-all/jammy,now 1.4-3build2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
vdpauinfo/jammy,now 1.4-2 amd64 [installed]

Seems that vdpau-va-driver is installed?
