Thanks.

Unfortunately, neither xf86-video-amdgpu nor linux-firmware seem to be
available. meta-amd certainly doesn't have them, and  xf86-video-amdgpu is
only in a newer branch of meta-oe than the one I'm currently using.

xf86-video-ati is available and I already use it - it doesn't accelerate
OpenGL or video decoding, unfortunately.

Regarding meta-amd, its FEATURES.md suggests that it doesn't support any
multimedia features on any of its targeted machines. I'm left wondering
what it does support...

Any other suggestions? Or ideas why the mesa recipe doesn't want to build
the radeonsi driver even though the version I'm building (21.2.4) seems to
include it?

Thanks,

Ori Pessach
