tomsom edited this page Jan 18, 2023 · 3 revisions

This fix will enable va-api codecs for gpu, this way video playback decoding in browsers/apps will be taken on by gpu and not cpu, thus bringing better thermals/batterylife.

Note: Remember to enable RPM Fusion repos before proceeding!

In summary

sudo su and execute following steps:

Swap mesa default drivers with mesa-freeworld:

dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld

Install vdpau drivers:

dnf install mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld

Reboot and enjoy!
