Hi, I have compiled mesa drivers to have AVC/HEVC/VC-1 hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, after restarting the computer, the x11 session does not start. The login window appears, enter the password, enter. A black window appears for a moment and then flashes back to the login window.
yay -S mesa-git
Anything posted in your .xsession-errors? login in a tty and
cat .xsession-errorsAfter using the command
cat .xsession-errors
message appears: there is no file or folder with the given name
Please read, we have unofficial repo for manjaro https://nonfree.eu/
GitHub - mesa-freeworld/mesa-nonfree
### install ###
# locally trust the ci key
sudo pacman-key --recv-keys B728DB23B92CB01B && \
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key B728DB23B92CB01B
## add the repo configuration:
sudo sh -c "curl -s https://nonfree.eu/$(pacman-mirrors -G)/ > /etc/pacman.d/mesa-nonfree.pre.repo.conf"
## include the repo configuration:
sudo sed -i '/^\[core\]/i \Include = /etc/pacman.d/mesa-nonfree.pre.repo.conf\n' /etc/pacman.conf
Could you tell me how to install it?
I already told you. You see the commands in my post ? Three commands copy/paste in the terminal. This is the source , so you can verify .
Yes, I pasted it but nothing happened.

~ ✔
What do you expect to happen ? If this is done, refresh your mirrors/database with
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
Now, when you open pamac-manager (install/delete software) and clic Repositories , you should see mesa-nonfree on top of the list.
…from now on the “mesa-nonfree repo” will be preferred, no compiling needed, these are pre-compiled packages.
Thank you for help. I am a newbie in linux. But with every problem I encounter, I learn something new.
If you would be so kind and tell me the simplest way to check if hardware acceleration is working
Verify the settings for VA-API by running vainfo , which is provided by libva-utils
Useful for browser settings
Something must have gone wrong with the driver installation

Ah, system info (should always be first, my fault).
Now we know you have intel cpu and amd graphics .
I am at work and only using mobile phone,
but maybe it is a libva problem .
See here:
