Unable to get hardware acceleration to work on old Lenovo laptop

Meinold

Hello,

I freshly installed FreeBSD on an old Lenovo laptop with an Intel graphic card. But I cannot figure out why the hardware acceleration does not work and would therefore appreciate any help. Please see the relevant information below:

Code: 
# uname -a
FreeBSD lenovo 14.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64

Code: 
# pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:    class=0x030000 rev=0x0e hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x0f31 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x3986
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display'
    class      = display

I have the xf86-video-intel package installed, but I am not sure if that was a good decision…

Code: 
# vainfo
Trying display: wayland
Trying display: x11
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva error: vaGetDriverNames() failed with unknown libva error
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

The mpv player does not open that video file…
 
I have made some progress, because I noticed that I had forgotten to set the LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME environment variable. So I have set it to i965 and now vainfo gives me the following result:

Code: 
# vainfo
Trying display: wayland

This is the problem. Intel DRM driver does not support "Baytrail" beyond 'drm-510-kmod' driver. That driver version is only available on the 13.x branch.
So 13.5-RELEASE is last version to support i915kms on Baytrail/Z37XXX.

So no modesetting driver. The xf86-video-intel driver does work but it uses llvm pipe which is software based and slow. Same as scfb uses.

I have alot of Baytrail Graphics CPU platforms and I have been updating them to 13.5-RELEASE to prepare for the demise.

graphics/drm-510-kmod
Note the fixes on 12 May 2023 at the bottom of the freshports page.

graphics/drm-510-kmod: Update to drm_v5.10.163_6
