Re: firefox+vaapi

because I have an archive repository connected in which 89. And it is connected because the newer one does not work with wine and there are no drivers for 390 nvidia.
I figured out what's wrong. If you select vaapi drm in vlc, then the same thing happens as in Firefox.
It's disappointing that with updates, support for old hardware is deteriorating.
