Hi folks,

I was told that people were having trouble with Firefox/HW acceleration/VA-API setup on Fedora so I put some info at wiki at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firefox_Hardware_acceleration

Hope it helps.
Martin

Intel section fails to mention that accelerated video decoding on the Iris XE (Gen12) GPUs requires intel-media-driver and won't work with older libva-intel-driver. So we're out of luck until the sandboxing issue is resolved and the fix is backported to Fedora Firefox builds.

As usually, please update the page.
Thanks.

Hm. I just reread the whole section again.
Martin, did you mean to use intel-media-driver (iHD_drv_video.so) instead of the libva-intel-hybrid-driver (hybrid_drv_video.so)? Because everything makes sense with that substitution and the sandbox bug only mentions iHD_drv_video.so.

To be honest, I have no idea what GPUs even use libva-intel-hybrid-driver alone. libva-intel-driver claims to support everything up to Gen 10 GPUs and Gen11+ (Ice Lake, Tiger Lake, etc..) is handled by the intel-media-driver. And hybrid-driver's only purpose seems to be a VP9 decoding backend for the libva-intel-driver (--enable-hybrid-codec).
Can someone confirm that?
