that should read mW not mA.

and the cool thing is i can debug this directly on the #librem5 by using #GNOME's #sysprof with attached screen and keyboad. 🎁

Situation improves further when bringing the #arm64 #pixman optimizations forward to #PureOS #Byzantium (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman/-/merge_requests/20) which were only in amber-phone and which everyone needs to pull since it's not merged in #pixman upstream.

The power difference with #webkit / #epiphany watching the Big Buck Bunny demo with #hantro VPU enabled is about 500mA less power at @1920 x1080 and it renders smoothly while it stutters badly in software.

@linmob https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/issues/264 - ctrl-v with the terminal keyboard is often a workarond.

Those running #PureOS #Byzantium can grab #gstreamer debs from https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/gst-plugins-bad1.0/pipelines/65100 - it's just a backport of the #gstreamer devs upstream work back to 1.18.3.

#webkit (for #epiphany) needed a small patch (https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/273960/webkit) to leverage the #gstreamer work that accelerates #h264 on the #librem5 (https://social.librem.one/@agx/105799071793016596). Resource usage did drop but not as much as i'd expected so there's more debugging needed.

#phosh 0.9.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.9.0

Now supports #GNOME's OSD DBus protocol, indicates microphone hardware kill switch state, fixes around the overview including long-swipes. Requires libhandy >= 1.1.90

Thanks @devrtz @dos, @exalm@floss.social

#librem5 @purism #gnomeonmobile

@amosbatto at some point yes, but afaik #gstreamer devs are still working on support for that (but they merged Ezequiel Garcia #h264 changes today so it will be part of future gstreamer releases, yay!)

@iooioio track https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/328 which will gather the details (or references to those)

@iooioio ...yes, and be smoother (for h264 atm)

@kvuj@fosstodon.org currently git plus patches

@leimon yes, that's why i wanted to get this going with #gstreamer since that's the framwork used by #epiphany/#firefox for video playback.

This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.

Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!

#phosh will soon honor #gnome-settings-daemons OSD requests: left on the #librem5, right on an external screen):

@dukethereal assuming your talking about the #librem5: yes, with the right docking station you can have usb, #DisplayPort over #usb-c and PD-charging at the same time.
