Actually the firmware file is not available in the standard linux-firmware tree, so obviously not freely distributed.

But there is obvoiusly an issue because in Leap 15.0 vdpau and vaapi worked fine. Suddenly in 15.1 they don't work. I also have no idea what you mean by HMM or "you'd have to extract it from Nvidia binary stuff". By using nouveau I am hoping to use a FOSS driver which works (at least as good as in Leap 15.0). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Firmware doesn't belong to FOSS, so it's really above our hands.

Yes, I understand that. I never intended to have binary blobs (which is why I use nouveau, otherwise I would simply use the proprietary driver). So I am back to: How come VDPAU and VA-API don't work in Leap 15.1, considering they are listed as supported ("DONE") by nouveau for VP5? Yes, I am reading the "Firmware" section on the link you: "However, VP1/2/3/4/5 all require firmware to operate that is presently extracted from the NVIDIA binary driver." But does this mean that VDPAU and VA-API would only work if a binary blob (EXTFW) is installed? If it means that - then what good is nouveau at all (FOSS-wise) if one still must use proprietary blobs? And the other question which remains: how come vdpau and vaapi (without "-copy") worked in smplayer in Leap 15.0? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I still prefer to live without proprietary malware (or at least with as little as possible). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
