I am currently using Fedora KDE with Wayland on an Optimus laptop, which has an AMD integrated GPU and a dedicated NVIDIA GPU. I am interested in enabling VAAPI in Firefox.
I understand that the process might be different for an Optimus setup compared to a standard configuration with a single GPU. I’ve searched through the forums and online resources, but I haven’t found any clear instructions on how to achieve this on Fedora KDE with Wayland.
Could anyone provide guidance or share their experience on how to properly set up VAAPI in Firefox under these conditions? Is that even possible at the moment?
Thank you in advance for your assistance and expertise!
And I tried it with running firefox with this environment variable MOZ_LOG="PlatformDecoderModule:5" firefox as suggested in the troubleshooting section to look at the logs, but there are no logs produced.
Yes, something a little embarrassing happened to me. I simply had media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled not set to true on about:config. Now I see the logs and WebRender in about:support.
Thanks for assisting, Joe! I’ll mark your post as solution.
