About mesa AVC/HEVC/VC-1 removal

Support Graphics & Display

Hi everyone,

I have a laptop which has a AMD iGPU and a NVIDIA dGPU.
Using hybrid mode, I use the AMD card as a main gpu, and only use NVIDIA card when playing games or rendering.

I did not understand if I am affected by Upstream mesa removal of AVC/HEVC/VC-1 hardware acceleration (AMD GPUs).

I use the video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime driver.

Thanks for your help, and sorry if this is a duplicate.

In this case, what is my best option to bring hw-acceleration back? (i’m out of the loop)

Thanks.
