Linux Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto)
Two things:

a) not related: make sure to install mesa 10.1.3 from the Ubuntu updates repository
b) provide aplay -L and aplay -l and also amixer -c0 and amixer -c1
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

a) Thanks. I am new on the linux side of things.. will running sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade do the trick to install mesa 10.1.3?
b) aplay -L http://paste.ubuntu.com/7781215/
aplay -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/7781218/
amixer -c0 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7781221/
amixer -c1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7781224/
a) yes - hopefully. post apt-cache policy mesa-common-dev after you did sudo apt-get update

b)
alsamixer -c1

unmute your master volume, please.

a) That seemed to do the trick http://paste.ubuntu.com/7781444/
b) Thanks, I am a little embarrassed now. Didn't see that it was muted when I looked at troubleshooting sound suggestions. Working now.

Thanks again!
for the mesa part: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and you should be ready to go. If you have a bios setting for your gpu memory, make sure it is set to 512 MB

Will run that. Unfortunately my netbook does not have those bios settings.
Thanks again!
That was the "if" in my sentence :-)


Good luck.

Hello there,
Thank you fritsch for a great tutorial, however I have an issue with wakeup from suspend. Whenever I resume the system it changes my resolution from 1920x1080p 60Hz to 1360x768p. I'm on xbmcbuntu 13 with 3.15.5 kernel.

xbmc@media:~$ cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790884/
xbmc@media:~$ dmesg | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790886/
xbmc@media:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790887/
xbmc@media:~$ DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790888/
xbmc@media:~$ dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790889/

If you have any suggestion, it would be much appreciated.
I cannot support suspend issues. Make sure your AVR is on prior you resume the machine.

If the rest is working fine the howto has succeeded.

Hi all new here but read almost all the way through post. I am running Gotham stable version and newbie at Linux Mint (came from Windows/Xbmc) but I am getting decent with terminal sudo and all that.

Well everything seems to be running decent I just notice quite a few streams look pixilated. Is that normal or is there any fix or settings I can adjust for that? I am not going to run any of these steps unless for sure I know which ones to use.

Anyway if you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
Wrong topic for this thread.

.... Oh BTW I have the HD 7250 in my netbook this still work?
Forgive me if I am wrong but how can this be wrong topic if I am running Linux and have Radeon card?
This thread provides a howto from scratch for radeon oss cards, based on Ubuntu 14.04 mini iso. It is not a help thread for "I did not follow the howto, installed what I want and now help me to get it working".

I was initially excited to see VDPAU and HD Audio bitstreaming were both available on ATI cards for Linux! Finally, free from the MS empire! I couldn't believe my eyes! I probably shouldn't have got so excited!

I cannot get HD Audio (TrueHD or DTS-HD) to bitstream / passthrough to the AVR with the Xorg drivers. It's completely silent. I've tried everything in the howto, including creating the pastebin files. I have a hard time admitting defeat, but after days of troubleshooting, I have to throw in the towel. My eyes are blood shot red and my carpal tunnel is setting in.

Hardware:
CPU: AMD Phenom 945
GPU: MSI AMD 5670
MoBo: MSI AMD 785gm-e65
RAM: 8GB DDR3-1333 10666
SSD: Kingston HyperX 90GB SH103S3390G
HDD: Hitachi 1TB HDS721010CLA332
AVR: SONY STR-DH710

Software:
Dual boot GRUB
Latest Ubuntu Mini ISO from howto (clean install)
Windows 7 x64

Pastebin files:
dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7803237
xbmc.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7803238
Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7803245
vdpauinfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7803257
mesa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/780335

Troubleshooting:
• Everything works fine on the Windows partition. I have 7.1ch/192khz/24bit/HD bitstreaming all audio typers and DXVA accelerated video using LAV splitters. This is definitely not a hardware problem.
• I've installed the mini.iso, without a GUI. Followed all instructions from howto including EDID override and tried every setting modification in XBMC.
• I've installed the Linux Mint distro. I can get HD Audio bitstream with ATI proprietary drivers, but no VDAPU. I can verify this by pressing "o" for the onscreen menu and not seeing ff-h264-vdapu.

Thank you for all your work! You should link your PayPal address if you find the problem in the pastebins. Big Grin
