Thanks :pray: @austriancoder
THE REAL FUTURE FOR LIBREM 5 IT IS IN THE HANDS OF Christian Gmeiner. Otherwise the Librem 5 it would be a Museum Piece only.

Thank you for tracking this news and sharing it. This is awesome!

Do you or does anyone know what steps would be needed after Christian is done with his efforts to get this packaged and available for PureOS? I’m assuming Byzantium would be out of the picture, but maybe this could be included in Crimson or Dawn at the very least.

Not sure about crimson, but it definitely will be the goal for dawn.

Right now I have mesa 25.1.0 in Crimson backports that is quite new. I hope I will able to build the latest one when GLES3 comes into Debian repo.

To get ALL GTK4 acceleration it need also GTK4 >= 4.13.6 which is available by default on GNU Dawn not in GNU Crimson, even better gnu dawn can get dmabuf-video on GTK4.14 as Gnu Dawn ship gtk v4.18.6.

From GTK4.13.6 it using GLES3.0 acceleration by default. So yes tons features coming up to Librem 5 like Buttered scroll via pango render, massive low cpu and ram, 60 fps on gtk4 framework, dmabuff(maybe).

Recently @praveen.arimbrathodi shared a fancy feature from clapper like dmabuff-video feature, however this is not complete real as librem 5 still missing real gles3.0 support.

So yes it is time to bring a HDR monitor for Librem 5. I would like: HDR-LTPO, 720P, 90Hz, 340 PPI.

OK i finally found the praveen thing what i said about:

So looks like it is not dmabuff-video_gst.video.1.24, but keeping clapper video-decode-hantro working under gles3-like on Librem5 in Mobian. I just didnt remembered myself well.

So what i know LVideo player support dmabuffvideo(newer fancy feature), i not sure about Clapper ATM.

Looks like we’re going to need PureOS Dawn backports… :slight_smile:
Or just wait (and at least see what’s in the next update report this week)
