RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Wade Berrier 2016-01-11 05:10:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

el7 has a quite recent mesa version but the vdpau drivers are not built.

Any particular reason for this?

Looking at the .spec file it appears that "with_vdpau" can be set to "1", and that the r300 drivers can be included:

+%{_libdir}/vdpau/libvdpau_r300.so.1*

It would be great to have hardware accelerated video playback for software that supports vdpau.
Comment 2 Dave Airlie 2016-03-10 02:18:44 UTC 
It isn't a major problem to enable these drivers.
Comment 3 Wade Berrier 2016-04-09 21:32:42 UTC 
I built mesa with the above changes with the following card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)

I installed the firmware and enabled reclocking according to:

https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/

the audio was a bit "stuttery" playing hidef h264.

I tried reclocking with:

nouveau.pstate=1 and trying a few values in:

/sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstate

with no improvements (mplayer, kodi, mythtv)

As a comparison, using the 340.96 nvidia driver has smooth playback.

I don't know the likelihood of this improving on el7, but am reporting the results regardless.

I guess it would be interesting to try this hardware on fedora to see if the situation improved...
