Devuan Ascii - Opensource Drivers Amd / AMD RX560

Hello ,

i just installed ths program here on Devuan Ascii

https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Linux

and it seems that my graphics card AMD RX560 is very poorly performing with Devuan 2.0 Asciii.

i changed the options for svptube2 to playback only in mp4 format (the RX560 has no hardware encoding/decoding for VP9 codec?) but the playback is still very laggy.

My question is:

is there a way to improve the Graphics Driver on Devuan for the AMD cards?

All i did was to install

firmware-linux-nonfree

Thank you very much!

Install 4.19 backports kernel and the non-free firmware from backports.

Hello Rolfie, hallo!

I upgraded to Beowulf, but the graphics seems still a bit lacking.

Followed this advice here
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- … -10-buster

and installed all those packages (on Beowufl)

Should i still install newer Kernel - but i suppose there is no Backports yet for Beowulf.

The problem is, with the program above, the framerate conversion functions, but whenever i move the window to another monitor, the frame-dropping occurs. it couuld well also just be a problem with the svp4linux setup;

thank you!

Check with

vainfo
vdpauinfo

Make sure the vainfo, vdpauinfo, va-driver-all & vdpau-driver-all packages are installed before trying that.

And I think newer AMD cards need this line in /etc/environment (or in a fragment file under /etc/environment.d/) for VDPAU acceleration to work:

VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi

I am a bit confused about this statement because on the Debian Wiki on ATI there is nowhere to be seen such a requirement
