+---- Thread: [LINUX] HOW-TO use VAAPI HW Acceleration on AMD Zacate (Fusion) platform (/showthread.php?tid=99154)

does that mean that an rebuild is required? Just installed the binaries, but no vaapi acceleration enable checkbox in the video settings.
Indeed. I believe that the ppas only contain releases. (default) Vaapi support can only be found in development versions. This means building with the "--enable-vaapi" configure switch.

Does any of you guys succeed to play hi-def material with vaapi, 24P mode and vsync on (so all three in action together) running on a zacate system? I have this problem, no matter what version I try, let it be binary or self-compiled.
If yes, please share your configuration. Thanks.

epiped Wrote:@SDM2011: my system also hangs when i try to shutdown.
i use the asrock board without usb3, natty x64, catalyst 11.5, libva1+libva-dev+xvba-drivers from splitted-desktop, and xbmc-pvr from ppa.
vainfo output seems ok and the vaapi option is in the xbmc settings but attempted playback results in a crash.
other problems: screen tearing (i already enabled tear-free desktop), sound over hdmi doesn't work occasionally (i have to stop and restart the video)
could someone with a working natty x64 setup post the exact configuration?
-which xbmc (from source or ppa?)
-which catalyst version (from ppa?)
-which libva1 and xbva (ppa or directly from splitted-d?)
-anything else (other PPAs? xorg.conf)?
-the order of these steps (not sure if thats relevant)
TIA
Any luck finding a solution? I'm seeing pretty much the same issue with the crash when playing x264 content + vaapi enabled.
I compiled xbmc from sources yesterday, and got the vaapi from splitted desktop; natty amd64. the crash is really annoying. I also notice a kind-of-high cpu usage when on idle state (~20 to 50% in one CPU only) but not sure what is normal on this board; system load average is rather low though.
I'm runing an asus e35-M1I deluxe, latest catalyst.
Suspend though seems to be working fine.
Did you try enabling natty-proposed and grabbing the latest kernel? I didn't yet but I'm wondering.
PS: note there is one guy claiming to have 10.10 working AOK although he doesn't provide too many details - let's see if he provides more info
It may be that natty/64bits is not a good choice of a base OS at this time. I think i will try 10.10/32b next.

is this normal when I run vainfo??

because I used to run the nightly builds with VAAPI before without problems and now it crashes on play with VAAPI ... but I also updated some others stuff so im just not sure where to look...
Im currently on gentoo linux with ati driver 11.5 kernel 2.6.38

ubuntu natty (2.6.38)/amd64 here. same crashes. I also see youtube streaming crashes xbmc - is this hapening to you as well?
Wondering what type of kernel you are running (32bits or 64 bits)?
And when you had no crashes - was it on that same kernel or a previous one?

Krautmaster Wrote:@Robotica
if i dont install libdrm-dev right before the libva packages, ill get an error on libva-dev.
Maybe you should include this into your how to.
Thnx. Will update this.

I don't have much time to do testing and writing my results to this topic. My conclusion so far:
First I tried Nemeks build and it works pretty ok for me. Just missing sound but that probably is a driver problem of my netbook. I didn't try to install to HD; just ran the Live edition and played some films (I didn't even setup network to start with).
Also, I tried Openelec (OpenELEC-Generic.i386-devel-20110518-r7005.tar) and that also works, except:
- tearing;
- WLAN;
- Sound.
Also mainly driver problems.
Since time is limited the comming weeks I don't see myself writing a complete guide on how to build a solution with minimal Natty. However, interesting info will be copied to OP.

I'm running Ubuntu natty 11.04, updated 2.6.39-generic kernel, latest xvba, libva1, libva-dev from SplittedD, and catalyst 11.5 ati driver. I kept having issues with mplayer -vo vaapi and xbmc crashing with vaapi enabled when I was logged into the default Ubuntu desktop. When I changed the desktop (at login) to Ubuntu Classic, viola, vaapi works! I'm not sure the exact reason for this incompatibility, but the issue is reproducible when I switch back to the standard Ubuntu desktop. This may partially explain a user's success with older versions of Ubuntu.
natty? - quotaholic - 2011-06-01
Just went to install natty via unetbootin on my E35-M1. The install went fine but my sony tv gives me a no signal indication when I reboot. I used the alternate installer. The screen flickers a couple of times like it wants to show me something after a while though the standard sony check your input banner pops up. Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

Some feedback on my e350 box.
I'm using the msi E350IA-E45, tried Nemeks build and intalled to HD, pretty much everything works, did hanged once while I was trying out different videos, have to tried it again to see if it's repeatable.
Robotica,
I've no luck with openelec though, I tried the generic version and it crashed booting up, something about host bridge window colliding with video rom....let me try the developer build and see if it's better.

Dev. build worked for me.

Hi all,
I did a XBMC and Ubuntu install on an amd fusion based Zbox AD02, maybe someone can benefit from my experiences.

Nice guide. I think you should apply the patch provided in this ticket before building xbmc though.
