the overlay is needed for mir-kiosk to allow it to work at all (unaccelerated though)
to have mir-kiosk fully accelerated one needs to use -kms-v3d instead but this in turn disables all video decoding in the vc4 core. i originally picked -fkms-v3d for the gadget since it is the least evil (makes mir semi-work while still allowing to use omxplayer accelerated (see the omxplayer-pi snap for testing)). long term it would be really cool if the graphics overlay selection could be a bit more dynamic (this is indeed orthogonal to this bug though) without the need to hardcode such stuff on boot or if mir-kiosk could simply work on top of vc4 without need for the overlay (the mir team was looking into that but i do not know the current status). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837209 Title: Splash screen fails to display on recent pi core18 images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1837209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
