Hi, how to explain,
I have an 6800XT, game on it a lot without problems. Under Plasma my HW acceleration works too, on the driver site I didn’t change anything from the endeavourOS installation.
but unter the driver informations I have the following erros:
Is that something I should worry about, or is there a fix?
greetings,
Daniel
Hi,
I guess you use Wayland, because you would just need to check the log with Xorg.
There’s not much you can do, but check direct rendering and libva are OK.
glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
vainfo
No at the moment I use X11
at home I trie what vainfo will tell me
i have no vainfo in wich package is it integrated?
edit: ok found
here what I get:
Trying display: wayland
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
Trying display: x11
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
edit2: are there perhaps some packages that I should install:
I have installed vulkan-radeon, lib32-vulkan-radeon, amdvlk, lib32-amdvlk, libva-mesa-driver. lib32-libva-mesa-driver, mesa-vdpau, lib32-mesa.vdpau, lib32-mesa. You may or may not need the 32bit support unless needed but i installed all on Kde. I also have no issues.
Example outputs:
Edit: All of the panels have information in them on Kde.
I have also installed and set up these.
libva-vdpau-driver
libvdpau-va-gl
libva-utils

I’m not a gamer, you might need the 32 bits packages too. I tried Vulkan once for mpv, but uninstalled it, because it didn’t bring more than what I have with OpenGL.
You need some of these pacakges if you want to run the commands to show the info.

I just meant that if you don’t have certain packages installed then vainfo won’t show you anything. 
I have this output.

ok now with more packages installed, I get no error with vainfo, but the system informations from kde show the same.
But as everything seems to work, I think I must ignore it
