[SOLVED]Hardware acceleration in browsers (nvidia 390)

human7314 · 2026-02-27 19:16:49

I have an old nvidia card which only supports the 390 drivers. I tried to make hardware acceleration work for both firefox and chromium-based browsers but was unsuccessful in the attempt. Is it actually impossible for these older cards to work with these browsers?

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … rification
Do VDPAU and *especially* VAAPI work tbw?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … ion_layers

Using HW acceleration in chromium is a problem in and by itself.
Ensure it works w/ mpv and vaapi, then probably focus on firefox first.

Apologies. I am new to this forum.
The output to vainfo is-

Trying display: wayland
Trying display: x11
libva error: vaGetDriverNames() failed with unknown libva error
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.22 (libva 2.22.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems VDPAU backend for VA-API - 0.7.4

I have the libva-vdpau-driver installed instead of the libva-nvidia-driver as I just could not get it to work.
VDPAU works perfectly.

export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=vdpau
export VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia

is also a part of my zprofile.

Is VAAPI actually working here?

At least look like you're using nvidia-vaapi-driver
Does

vdpauinfo

work?
(Please use [code][/code] tags, not "quote" tags)

What do you get for

mpv -v --hwdec=auto porn.mp4
mpv -v --hwdec=vdpau itsnotpornok.mp4
mpv -v --hwdec=vdpau-copy ok-itsporn.mp4
mpv -v --hwdec=vaapi lookeverybodywatchesthat.mp4
mpv -v --hwdec=vaapi-copy stoplookingatmelikeiwastheweirdonehere.mp4

Edit: one thing to keep in mind w/ browsers and youtube is that you'll need an extension like h264fy to not get handed VP9 or other unsupported codecs.

Also, I do already use the enhanced h264ify extension.

I tried these commands with an mpv.conf I had

osc=no
border=no

profile=fast
vo=gpu
gpu-api=opengl
gpu-context=x11
hwdec=vdpau
hwdec-codecs=all

volume=30

ytdl-format=bv*[vcodec^=avc1][height<=1080]+ba/b[ext=mp4][height<=1080]
sub-font='JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono'

not sure if that made a difference.

Segfault is bad.

Please let me know if I need to use gdb as it states in the wiki.

Do you get better results w/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libva-vdpau-driver ?

human7314 · 2026-02-28 21:45:01

I was already using the mentioned package. If I usehttps://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … ia-driver/ I get

Trying display: wayland
Trying display: x11
libva error: vaGetDriverNames() failed with unknown libva error
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

So does it mean that hardware acceleration won't work?

Hardware acceleration works via vdpau but all browsers only support VAAPI so you'll need a working shim.

The backtrace in #7 is w/ the AUR package??
For elfarto's driver you'll need to set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia

human7314 · 2026-02-28 22:09:38

Yes the backstrace was with the AUR package.

Trying elfarto's driver right now. Even after setting LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia, I get

Trying display: wayland
Trying display: x11
libva error: vaGetDriverNames() failed with unknown libva error
Cannot load cuvidGetDecodeStatus
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so init failed
vaInitialize failed with error code 1 (operation failed),exit

seth · 2026-03-01 08:10:17

Cannot load cuvidGetDecodeStatus

The driver needs CUDA.
Leaving aside the power consumption caveat in the wiki, you'll need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opencl-nvidia-390xx and afaict https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cuda-9.0 (since cuda-10 seems to no longer support the 390xx drivers)

As for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libva-vdpau-driver I'm not quite sure why "#0 0x00007b0358820864 XDisplayString (libX11.so.6 + 0x27864)" would segfault.
You could try to control -vo (to vaapi, xv or x11) but even if you get that to work you probably could not leverage that for any browser

Thanks for your help. Guess I'll stick to mpv + ytdlp.
