RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-12-06 @Locomotif: Hawaii firmware is not needed for your hardware. In ubuntu a sudo update-initramfs -u should ben enough to pick stuff up. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-12-06 @fritsch... yeah... kinda got that... thought i'd give it a shot anyway. thnks. still no go. at one point after a reboot, it did get as far as the XBMC logo!, but then it froze... not sure what's happening with the new kernel... RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - libgradev - 2013-12-06 @MPEG-2 GPU Lockup people I have tried the patch (thanks fritsch) linked in the bugreport in combination with updated Mesa and 2D master now (pulled late yesterday) but the locking is as bad as ever sadly. I have updated the bug report... I currently leave VDPAU disabled unless watching a HD movie - as a workaround! @fritsch: feel free to link the bug report into the 1st page (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71796). RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-12-06 Weird, i compiled a 3.12 kernel with the mpeg2 patch and couldn't get the system to crash.

Hmm - the patch Alexandre Demers linked in the bug report? Fritsch's is a 3.13-rc2 patched kernel, if that matters... interesting! RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-12-06 (2013-12-06, 16:34)libgradev Wrote: Hmm - the patch Alexandre Demers linked in the bug report? yes. 3.13 gives me a dead screen. 3.12.3 no dvb-t2 tuners. but 3.12 with the atihdmi5, mpeg2 fix and 24Hz patches has given me a usable system again. i kept stopping and starting a mpeg2 stream about 10 times and could not get a gpu hang. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-12-06 yeah... i'm with you @deadite66 in the process right now of compiling 3.12.3 and testing with some patches relative to my system. do you get the UVD errors on 3.13? i can't remember if you said so or not... RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-12-06 didn't even see a screen with 3.13, total gpu crash.

I'll be compiling 3.12 with the patch then later ;D RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Zeqad1ous - 2013-12-06 I just want to say thank you for posting such a great howto. I was able to get this working on my main HTPC last night running Debian (Jessie). CPU: AMD A8-5500 APU GPU: [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7560D] xbmc gotham alpha9 running vdpau on my video sources w/ no artifacts or issues at all (yet). No frame drops and uber-low cpu usage! Thanks so much! RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-12-06 FYI: i was able to successfully compile and patch kernel 3.12.3 RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-12-06 going to apt-mark hold the mesa packages again so they don't break UVD, can't have that happening over Christmas.

I was able to get this working on my main HTPC last night running Debian (Jessie). I have the same APU and i too run Debian Jessie (64 bit). I never had artifacts or significant issues like the people around here. But i compile everything from git myself from the kernel to mesa and xbmc too. May be just this igp works better with oss radeon (it had issues with kernels 3.11 and up to 3.12 rc4 with random system freezing but since it was smooth sailing). Or is the distribution ? (couldn resist ). Seriously, this APU works very very well with radeon, not just in xbmc but in games too. And it doesnt overheat even with the tiny default cooler.

Hi Guys, I have an A10-5700 that is very close to your APU- I'm still running on Lubuntu 12.10 with patched radeon drivers and XVBA. When I read success stories, I'd wish to get details, as I'll be forced to upgrade soon. May you please explain your installation step-by-step? Or pointing to the instruction and explain if you did exactly what is written or not. Even via PM if you don't want to do that within the thread. Thanks, Claudio RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-12-06 (2013-12-06, 20:11)gradinaruvasile Wrote:(2013-12-06, 17:26)Zeqad1ous Wrote: I just want to say thank you for posting such a great howto. I was able to get this working on my main HTPC last night running Debian (Jessie). starting to wonder if it's the Richland APUs. I may be wrong. but it seems people with Trinity APUs haven't had the problem. i'm running a6-6400 Richland APU. i am tempted to trying the debian disto -- hehehe |
