Please visit the irc channel. Prepare aplay -L and aplay -l. You also have packages of mesa installed, that have non working interop. Also add the wsnipex mesa ppa and upgrade to it.

Yeah - completely wrong packages. Add the wsnipex mesa ppa and upgrade to it or wait until oibaf has build new packages.

OK,
it works now!

Thanks

I don't know why it's trying to install the i386 packages, I did this howto after freshly upgrading my 12.04 install to 13.04.
The wsnipex/mesa repo doesn't fix it for me either.

Yeah, also wrong kernel. Please follow the howto. The wsnipex mesa ppa was not meant to fix your very issue, it was to make the white screen go away - which is a problem after all your other steps were succesful.

Edit: Yeah, this howto assumes you start with a _minimal_ Ubuntu 13.04 iso.

Is there any way to make it work for my system? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall. Both repos will try to install the i386 versions of libwaylandclient and server. Why does it do this, if I'm using an amd64 system? Do I even need these?

peace fritsch (or anyone else that can answer this question),

on the freedesktop.org site, they suggested we try a patch that was created.

this is the link -- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=86939
this is the link to the bug - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63997

i'm not familiar with how to apply a patch. i read the documentation -- https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation...atches.txt
but i've never seen a patch file before.
can i just copy this document and save it, and then run the patch command to that file? or is there a certain part of that file that is the actual patch?

i'm on kernel 3.11.4

also, is radeonsi the default driver for the OSS Radeon?

Hi fritsch,
thanks to your suggestions, it looks like working now.
What seems odd is the message from qvdpautest
Code:

Isn't it strange that it doesn't detect any Radeon, and gives that get_bits failed?

This is the result from dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit

No, that is normal.

Lol, btw. the above commands were no suggestions - they saved your ass - hehe you are funny.

@locomotif:

I built a kernel for you, that includes the above patch, you can download it here:

Kernel: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572..._amd64.deb
Headers: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572..._amd64.deb

Howto enable Audio, if that works for you, you can look in the previous posts.

Can you help me? Smile

I'm in IRC for a while, too.
Just wanted to thank the developers of this tool; I've got an AMD A8 APU which is now playing VDPAU accelerated video flawlessly using this tutorial. Quick question though is there an equivalent tutorial for Nvidia? One of my other HTPC boxes has an Nvidia 600 series card in it. I installed the same packages and xbmc on that setup and vdpauinfo shows it using the correct shared library but when I start playback in xbmc it does not appear to be using vdpau. Thanks again to everyone here for all their hard work!
I know it may have been asked before but I was unable to find it.
Will it ever be possible to get this working for current 12.04 LTS?

Maybe if it gets less bleeding-edge? Thanks in advance
@fritsch,

thanks for the kernel. tested it out... the artifacts are still there, but it's a lot better than before.

i let them know as well. seems like progress!!

If I turn these options:

Adjust to match RefreshRate video: On
Sync Playback to Display: On
Sync Method: Video Clock (Drop/Dupe)

sound is interrupted.

I have a similar device (no switch mode 2.1 / 5.1) :

xbmc does not recognize my audio device correctly, Denon AVR-1705.
Can I force the recognition? To the sound was transmitted correctly for my device?
