I just did a quick search on this without finding much.
For years I have been running mythtv master in Fedora KDE X11 with a
cheapo nvidia GT 710 card, mainly to get an HDMI output, using the
rpmfusion build of the closed-source 470xx driver. That driver will
lose support later this year and its latest version is not yet available
in rpmfusion.
A few weeks ago after a kde update I started getting usually-brief
pauses with notifications of graphics resets in Kwin, and the kde-fedora
list suggested switching to the reverse-engineered nouveau driver, with
the possibility that this might also work with Wayland, the 'coming thing'.
I now have MythTV master running with nouveau in the Plasma-X11
environment, although I haven't yet tried using VDPAU acceleration or
deinterlace; it works and suits my use case.
But Wayland isn't as good. mythfrontend says VDPAU isn't available,
the menu screens show ghosting, the HDMI TV screen needs a new login
after it times out or is power cycled, and the (deprecated) mythtv-setup
crashes on exit.
I'm not sure whether these are 'known unknowns' or just unknown. Are
they worth an 'issue' ?
