RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-11
Christian has fixed the initial patch. Pick the two last from here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~deathsimple/mesa/log/
I also mailed oibaf. So the ppa should update soon.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - theslime - 2013-10-11
Cool! Great work, again. I'm starting repeating myself here.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - antares81 - 2013-10-11
@gradinaruvasile
yeah I forgot that I had to add a line break at the end, so that the patch doesn't end unexpectedly.
Thanks again @fritsch and ckoenig for fixing it right away

It works. Thank you.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-10-11
according to the launchpad page:
=== Using VDPAU/XvMC accelerated video ===
Supported XvMC drivers: softpipe, r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau
Supported VDPAU drivers: softpipe, r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau
how do I know that I'm using the radeonsi drivers? is there an *. so file for that or is this the default? for the /XvMCConfig file?
i see the entries in /usr/lib/dri for all except radeonsi -- this is why i ask.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Claudio.Sjo - 2013-10-11
I don't compile myself, thus I'm on the "official" track.
Today I updated Xorg, now white screen if VDPAU and Mixer are ON, but the video plays if only Mixer is ON
Re: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - nihues - 2013-10-11
I'm with official releases, waiting for the new Mesa, installed yesterday and noticed big improvement to response in guy and low CPU usage. Vdpau give white or green screen.
In the mean time, can the OP update the kernel with aufs support too? Its not enabled, I was using it to join multiple HDs.
Thanks
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - lawrencecurtis - 2013-10-11
PPA updates are currently building… won't be very long now
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-11
@nihues: no - if you have advanced needs, that go beyond standard Ubuntu kernel config, you have to build yourself.
@all: There was another build problem in mesa, which got fixed two mins ago - so fabio needs to rebuild the ppa again.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - antares81 - 2013-10-11
While testing the 3.12rc4 kernel from the ArchLinux AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-mainline) I noticed some increase in frame drops/skips, especially with 1080i content. dmesg reports that while playing videos the gpu perfomance class sticks to "uvd_hd", while with the 3.11.4 repo kernel it sticks to "uvd". Clocks seem quite different:
Code:
$ dmesg | grep -i uvd
[ 1.839809] [drm] UVD initialized successfully.
[ 1.902422] internal class: uvd_hd
[ 1.902428] uvd vclk: 38824 dclk: 30000
[ 1.902439] internal class: uvd
[ 1.902445] uvd vclk: 55000 dclk: 41250Same while running qvdpautest, so obviously there is quite a difference too:
3.11.4 repo kernel:

RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-11
There is a reason I tell to use 3.11.
3.12-rc4 has a bug, that does not go to the max UVD clock, which is not fixed yet.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - antares81 - 2013-10-11
Thank you, I was just testing around, not blaming you for anything
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-11
Did not assume so :-) All fine for my part.

But I was using the standard kernel. I was thinking this was a modified kernel config. And aufs is in kernel not patched or anything.
Thanks anyway
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-11
That's indeed a vanilla kernel with Ubuntu kernel config. I did not like that the ubuntu guys need ages to port pointreleases to their saucy kernel tree... but i can in deed build the normal ubuntu git source in the future, would be even easier to maintain, as I can use git.
