We already parked mesa in wsnipex mesa ppa. That will be there, so that makes it "stable" there. Fabio has in the meantime also rebuild his packages, so - development continues.
For xbmc it is quite easy. Don't upgrade before the End of a month, which is the end of the merge window.
@morbid:
It makes absolutely no sense to disable Adjust Refreshrate to match video and at the same time enable Sync Playback to Display. How should a 24p Video sync to the DisplayClock of 50hz or 60hz?
Hmm... good point. I'll disable the other option as well.

From -Code:start on (filesystem and stopped udevtrigger)
To -Code:start on (filesystem and stopped udevtrigger and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)
Though this did slow down my boot time a bit, Thoughts?
If you need your network, you have to wait for it ...
Things to speed it probably up: Recompile the kernel, compile in the network module into the kernel (as non module) and save perhaps 2 seconds. Alternatively or additionally use static IP Adresses, so that you save the dhcp handshake.

Yep, that did the trick... Feel kinda silly now for not searching for mpghd.dat...
Here's the relevant qvdpautest data: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6241052/
Btw, it's a HD6450 PCI-E...

With the 3.11.4 kernel I still need to use xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio auto to enable HDMI audio. It is pretty annoying.
There is something wrong, as this code should not be in 3.11.4 at all. Please provide the logfiles, btw. you can easily script that xrandr command to automatically run after startup.
Now I don't need to run xrandr. Just start xbmc twice then HDMI audio works. It might be caused by that I start ubuntu in console/text mode.

Hi,
it looks like there are some good news here

Did anyone test it?

Hi fritsch,
Would it be possible to You to add in your howto links for i386 patched kernel debs as well?

Hey,
I tweeked qvdpautest to be a little more flexible. I was a little frustrated that qvdpautest didn't identify cards (other than Nvidia with the proprietary driver). Also, my main media systems boot straight into xbmc it was too difficult to gather the results for posting. I also fixed it to "make install" properly and it expects the test data in /usr/share/qvdpautest (now you can just run qvdpautest).
This version will identify any video card properly (with current pciutils), since it uses the pci bus to id the video card. It also writes the results to /tmp/qvdpau-result.txt so you can post the output in the event that it is too difficult to capture the standard output.

It just uses a minimal setup, therefore a little upstart script is much faster than e.g. lightdm.
I stripped out all gnome and lightdm rubbish. Works perfectly with this xinit script
For the future: I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that the OSS drivers need to be installed, and the XBMc build from this PPA. When Gotham is being released: should I still use this PPA or will these changes be merged to the official PPA?
Currently I get confused all the time by the different PPA's

Hi cbxbiker61,
just added libpci-dev on top of my previous setup and everything compiled and installed perfectly. Good job!
Anyway, why not just distribute binaries? The ones who folowed frisch's HOWTO have the same OS base...

P.S.: the updated oibaf's mesa and stuff work flawless, no white screen or other artifacts...

I did not build any - so no chance to add a link.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - teeuwj - 2013-10-16
Hello,
I have installed as described on page 1 and everything is working well only the video looks to dark.
When I look at the input info on my TV it says RGB 24bit, when I use Openelec the colors are fine and the TV info shows YCbCr 30bit.
Is it possible to change this in the config ?
I’m using a AMD Fusion E-350
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-10-16
Could it be related to these recent updates to mesa.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=e6c2afa9ceacc188690deba9da7b46bf1a0a9027
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=48563bd45c546a7759d6f739607b9f0906b4c8ad
maybe Openelec has been updated with those patches.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-16
@deadite66:
I think he compares with fglrx OpenELEC builds which has full range by default.

Yes, but my Xilka distro is different. So someone feel free to do a binary package for the majority of the thread's users.
