bschaeferfritsch, awesome, yeah was looking that the drm branch and that looked awesome!15:42
fritschif you have some comments for it, please do not hesitate to state those - highly appreciated15:43
bschaeferYup was going to test it out this weekend, my only concern was if SDL was selected for events ... only joysticks would work IIRC15:44
bschaeferas theres no backend for drm15:44
bschaeferbut was looking and SDL isnt default selected (unless i missed it) so shouldnt be a big issue15:44
fritschit should not use sdl15:44
fritschif you test it, please report your results in the PR15:45
fritschi think for now, you need root access to run it15:45
fritschthe VAAPI commits will go to vp_updates branch15:45
fritschas we are currently heavily reworking vidoe player too15:45
fritschand therefore lrusak removed those commits15:45
fritschbut he has drm + vaapi working already15:45
bschaeferyeah figured it shuldnt15:46
bschaefero nice!15:46
bschaeferyeah theres a drm vaapi backend15:46
fritschthe same you use in mir15:46
* bschaefer recalls that being already supported?15:46
bschaeferyeah15:46

fritschnope15:50
fritschvdpau will die15:50
fritschbound to X1115:50
bschaeferyay15:50
fritschand we will consider wayland the new "default" in the near future15:51
fritschnow that you guys also transition15:51
bschaeferyeah that sounds perfectly reasonable15:51
fritschthough I will also give drm a try. I am mostly interested in the boot time15:51
fritschanad the KMS to kodi transition15:51
bschaeferyeah, i cant imagine mir/wayland being much slower (not to many layers on top) but yeah direct kms will be faster15:52
bschaeferthough you lose the *displayer* bit but since you're a fullsreen app anyway15:52
fritschfor appliances without the need for a browser15:52
fritschdrm kms directly is nice15:52
bschaeferyeah15:52
fritschbut when you need a window manager / browser whatever15:52
bschaeferi can only think if someone wants to run it on their desktop15:52
fritschjep15:53
bschaeferin a display server those backends will be wanted15:53
