If I want to compile your vdpau-xbmc from git - should I use fernetmentas master or yours, or a special branch? Which compile-options are needed?
thx
Fusion E-350, 4 GB RAM, SSD, openSUSE Tumbleweed 64bit KDE, Mesa-10.2.3, latest stable Kernel, XBMC FernetMenta-Git

You need the wsnipex mesa packages as Temporal is not yet in any official mesa release. That has nothing to do with xbmc as VDPAU is implement there since a long time.
But(!) with current versions > Alpha ( be it mainline or fernetmentas branch) we have optimized VDPAU so that throughput was adjusted to run as great on radeon vdpau implementation and on the nvidia one.

@tomtomme: fernetmenta master branch - the rest you find in the rules file of wsnipex tar.gz when you download it from the ppa itself. (make sure to disable pulse, use internal ffmpeg and use internal-librarires)

if you compile without --disable-pulse you won't get the chance to do any passthrough and you won't get the new AudioEngine. Perhaps starting with: AE_ENGINE=Active xbmc will help.
i mostly compile: ./configure --enable-vdpau --disable-vaapi --disable-crystalhd --disable-libcec --disable-pulse --disable-debug
Edit:
For the howto: yes, sure - but I would consider you use the OpenSuse buildservice, there you can compile rpms easily
And in general: I hope this howto is obsolete when kernel 3.13 and mesa 10 and gotham v13 is available - cause everything will work out of the box.

@fritsch: Thanks for all the hints.
I tested it yesterday evening for a long time, (starting/stopping movies) but “unfortunately” I got no crash.
I will continue testing next evenings.
So long

Hello
I did fresh install. I see and do it 1 post. Now xbmc is running, but I have some problem:
1. In picture and in music menu show "add source..." button, but in videos/filesis empty. I cant add sources... I try press "c" in videos menu and files menu, but missing "add sources..." I try remove an reinstall xbmc, abmc-bin, but unsuccessfull.
2. In System/Settings/Power Saving, the "Shutdown function" is showing "?0?" or "?-1?" instead of suspend or shutdown. And in power menu show only "exit" and "inhibit idle shutdown", missing the "shutdown, reboot, sleep".
Please help me, what can I fix this problems?

1.) nothing -> merge window - will get better around the 10th.
2.) read last page - you miss a package (sudo apt-get install consolekit) also check your polkit stuff

Those builds are master builds. Between every 1th and 10th all code that could go in goes in - and after the 10th everything is stabilized again.
We are currently in the middle of this process, so - it is broken and will be fixed later.
