Support for accelerated graphics and video decoding on PINE A64+ in bullseye

Hello,

I'm trying to get accelerated video and/or decoding working on a PINE 
A64+ (2 GiB RAM) on bullseye.


With xserver-xorg-video-fbdev I get about 180 frames in glxgears with 
1.4 load (openbox at 1920 x 1080).

This is usable only for basic tasks, e.g. Kodi starts, but the interface 
has significant lag.

Should xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo (ITP #760025) help? I tried installing 
the package from Debian Multimedia, but I only get a blank screen.

The upstream project[1] seems unmaintained (latest commit Oct.2015).

What (else) is still missing for accelerated video?


Playing 1080p videos (VLC or Kodi) works, but is way to slow (software 
decoding only).

According to [2] Cedrus support was merged in Linux 5.0, but there is no 
CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI_CEDRUS as mentioned on [3].

Additionally, as far as I understand, for accelerated video decoding the 
VAAPI backend libva-v4l2-request is also needed, but it's not packaged 
for Debian (yet?).

Should I file an RFP for it?
