https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D220444 --- Comment #7 from Mikhail Teterin <mi@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Jan Beich from comment #6) > try to explicitly set Option "DRI" "2" in xorg.conf Yep! This worked. The video plays in the "vdpau" mode now, no crashes. Thank you! I wonder, what I am missing, however, by not using DRI3 -- previously, mpla= yer could play using "gl" and "xv" modes without an obvious difference. Now it = can also do VDPAU -- is there some kind of hardware acceleration now, that was = not used before? Would using DRI3 offer such an acceleration even if DRI2 does not? Playing YouTube videos inside Firefox, for example, still causes the browser to use= 2-3 CPUs (according to top(1)), plus the Xorg process using 20-30% (I have 4 cores). Should Firefox be able to use vdpau as well -- and consume less CPU as a result? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
