  "textContent": "Sorry for the double post (I didn't find out how to edit my previous post).\n\nNote that **starting with Mesa 25.3 VDPAU support will be removed**. This means that past this version there's no point in setting VDPAU_DRIVER to \"radeonsi\".\nKind of sucks that Mesa is removing all kinds of cool features now, like native DirectX9 in Linux or VDPAU.\n\nUsing va_gl works though, but you need to install **libvdpau-va-gl1** , which is a driver that converts VDPAU calls to VAAPI.\n\n\nDebian/Devuan/Ubuntu/Linux Mint\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo apt install libvdpau-va-gl1\n\nArch/Artix\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo pacman -S libvdpau-va-gl\n\nFedora\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo dnf install libvdpau-va-gl\n\nopenSUSE\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo zypper install libvdpau-va-gl\n\nGentoo\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    emerge --ask x11-libs/libvdpau-va-gl\n\nWhen testing on a machine with an nvidia card with the proprietary driver I noticed graphical glitches (colours are off) in flashgames.\nUntil I find out why you can use **this hack** : (definitely causes some overhead, but it works. converts vdpau => vaapi => nvdec)\n\nInstall **nvidia-vaapi-driver** (converts vaapi to nvdec) alongside libvdpau-va-gl:\n\n\nDebian/Devuan/Ubuntu/Linux Mint\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo apt install nvidia-vaapi-driver\n\nArch/Artix\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo pacman -S nvidia-vaapi-driver\n\nFedora\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo dnf install nvidia-vaapi-driver\n\nopenSUSE\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    sudo zypper install nvidia-vaapi-driver\n\nGentoo\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    emerge --ask media-libs/nvidia-vaapi-driver\n\nThen add the following to /etc/environment\n\nCODE:\n\n\n    VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl\n\nHave fun!\nWhen I get native nvidia vdpau working with flash without colours being off, I'll create a new forum thread\n\n* * *",
