Hello,
I’m running the latest Firefox pkg on FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE and I was wondering about GPU acceleration. I’m using an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U CPU with Radeon 780M Graphics. X11 and XFCE4 as desktop GUI.
Here is a part of Firefox’s about:support output (plaintext):
Especially I read «HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING: ../.. runtime: unavailable» that makes me think, may be, GPU offloading is not available. Nevertheless, reading a 4K youtube video looks OK, with CPU averaging around 8%.
Any idea / pointers / explanations greatly appreciated!
