    VA-API on Radeon HD 2000 and newer GPUs is supported by libva-mesa-driver.
    VDPAU on Radeon R300 and newer GPUs is supported by mesa-vdpau.

Looks like your card is not supported by libva-mesa-driver, try removing that package so vdpau is only option for HW accel.

We've had that in your last retroarch thread, this really is just a very weak card, you aren't going to get much further via software means here.

We are talking 2004 here... I'm slightly surprised you seem to manage quite well for a few years already but you really can't expect much from this, it's unlikely that has any form of video hardware acceleration (afaik earliest hardware that has this is around ~2008ish)

Re: xxx

I have faint memory of specifically the radeon module having issues in some recent kernels (5.4ish if memory serves me?) maybe try some linux414 or so (might be a pain to compile on the HW, there should be some binary repos, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … rchlinuxcn has a few of the older kernels/LTSs packaged)

mesa might be a possible culprit, but afaik the r300 driver is pretty isolated and shouldn't have seen many impactful changes.

Do you get any error messages in xorg/kernel logs (e.g. after the blackscreen glxgears)?

i have noticed that if i Turn vsync off, mpv, vlc and glxgears work, but retroarch is unplayable (too slow).

The userguide for your mobo[1] does mention it has onboard VGA .
The VIA P4M890 northbridge should provide that[2]

In the bios goto Advanced > Chipset .
What is set for 'Primary Display Adapter' and 'VGA Share Memory Size' ?

Also please post lspci -knn .
