Changes have been accepted into OpenBSD that add the libva 2.22.0 library to the Xenocara X11 stack used in OpenBSD to form the graphical environment, based on modified versions of X.Org 7.7, X Server 21.1.11, freetype 2.13.0, and Mesa 23.1.9. Enabling the libva library allows the use of the Video Acceleration API (VA-API) for hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding in various formats.
Hardware acceleration has been tested with drivers for Intel and AMD GPUs using the Firefox browser and the mpv media player. The necessary drivers for Intel GPUs are offered in the ports graphics/intel-media-driver and graphics/intel-vaapi-driver, while stock components from Mesa are used for handling AMD GPUs.
