RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - tomtomme - 2013-11-25 For the openSUSE xbmc users reading this thread: NOTE the following important changes in my howto. You should also adapt your installation accordingly! ##### Recent CHANGES ###### - switched the packman-repo from factory to 13.1 - switched the mesa repo from pontostroy (now version v 10.1 git) to tobijk (version 10.0 RC2) to stabilize stuff I recommend to also switch those, as Mesa 10.1 and packman factory are unstable. After every repo-change do a "sudo zypper dup" ###################### RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Claudio.Sjo - 2013-11-25 Hi, in the past I have complained about some issues in XBMC, related to temperature measurements. I wish to apologize, as the actual problem was due to undocumented chipset used in Asus F2A85 motherboard (and similar from asus). According to the latest news, there's support in kernel 3.12, thus the problem is gone. Latest tests on xbmc and mesa are very good, and also interlaced videos play well on my iMac. I understood that every new feature will be available in the mainstream soon, thus my strategy now is to wait for Lubuntu 14.04LTS When ready, I'll try to add the hacked driver for remote control. Thanks guys. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - VanillaXtract - 2013-11-25 @fritsch That is what I meant, that I installed 12.3 pre. I understand that they were not the same but I couldn't fix the problem So I went back and purged fglrx, xbmc, and xbmc-bin. I went and reperformed all the apt-get installs from the how-to. I was only missing the vdpauinfo package. I then installed xbmc and xbmc-bin from the fernetmenta repo. Everything plays smoothly. I am not sure what the issue was before that prevented me from selecting a resolution higher than 1024x768. @fritsch and @gfisher Thank you for your time and patience. I know it's not easy dealing with stupid people. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - miki4242 - 2013-11-26 For Arch Linux users: I've uploaded a PKGBUILD to AUR for building Mesa 10.x Git development branch. I'm currently using this (as packages built from mesa10-git 10.0.rc2.59696-1) on Arch x86_64, with a Zotac Zbox Nano AD10 (AMD E-350 Fusion APU), latest stable kernel 3.12.1-1, libdrm 2.4.49-1, xorg-server 1.14.4-1, all from official repos (i.e. no patches!), xbmc-git 20131104.be98367-1 from Git master, plus the usual XBMC dependencies No freezes, good sound and image quality. Nice work, guys! Link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mesa10-git/ RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - BadBone2k - 2013-11-26 Hello there! Been lurking quite a while and really appreciate your work here. Unfortunately I have a problem: I followed your tutorial and after rebooting everything, the display outpoot looks ... well see for yourself: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9hldijihrldhkdq/2013-11-26%2010.51.13.jpg I'm running on a HP N54L with an AMD Turion II Neo, 2x 2.20GHz and a XFX Radeon R7 250, 1GB DDR5 RAM. I assume that my Radeon is simply "too new" for the used drivers and now I'm seeking for confirmation, that this is the problem. Since I cannot see anything on my display, I am not able set XBMC to debug mode, but I hope, that my information provided will suffice: dmesg | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/6478241/ cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/6478243/ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/6478247/ DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/6478249/ dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/6478251/ glxinfo | grep -i interop says "Error: unable to open display" vdpauinfo: cannot connect to X server RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-26 You probably need an even newer kernel. Never had a R7 myself somewhere. It's quite new, right? RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - BadBone2k - 2013-11-26 Yes, it is quite new. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_Rx_200_Series So, I play the waiting game. Thanks for your reply! RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - pyrodex - 2013-11-26 With the release of 3.13-rc1 Ubuntu has released the mainline kernel releases to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc1-trusty/. I've installed these for saucy using the guide and trying them out to see how it works. 32bit: Code: wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc1-trusty/linux-headers-3.13.0-031300rc1_3.13.0-031300rc1.201311221535_all.deb 64bit: Code: wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc1-trusty/linux-headers-3.13.0-031300rc1_3.13.0-031300rc1.201311221535_all.deb RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-26 And - the important part: How did they work? RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - pyrodex - 2013-11-26 @fritsch so far I've tested a few web-dl shows with AAC 2.0, AC3 5.1 and a few movies with HD codecs with no issues on my setup. I am hoping these solve the weird dithering issue you pointed out a few days ago. No issues with picture quality yet and I will continue to test and report. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-26 Dithering is a manual xrandr option. Yeah I am running it also since the weekend. No issues yet. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - pyrodex - 2013-11-26 @fritsch thanks for the info. I've popped an xrandr option in startxbmc.sh for now and playing with it for a few days to see if it fixes my "greying" issue. So far I've watched everything from live tv to movies without any quirks or issues.

The same files can be seen with 3.12.0+ RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-27 Logfiles or it never happened :-) (we had that before, right?)

It (3.13-rc1)does not work on my system (A10-5800K on Asus F2A85-M, used in i386 mode). Mean, there is some generic problem with HDMI - no video signal comes out after GRUB phase. But DVI output works OK. So, I just wonder, how to debug this issue? |
