Take care with the current rexbron/catalysthacks xvba patches. They have incompatibility with the splitted-desktop libva and xbmc-pvr that jumps when installing xbmc or updating, and then there's no back-turn. I found out the hard way.

Seems to me that rexbron could be based on catalysthacks as also shared the bug.
My vaapi installation on natty
(cli), note new version:
Code:
cd ~/; mkdir vaapi; cd vaapi/
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/pkgs/amd64/libva1_0.32.0-1+sds2_amd64.deb
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/pkgs/amd64/libva-dev_0.32.0-1+sds2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -y libkms1 libdrm-dev pkg-config
sudo dpkg -i libva1_0.32.0-1+sds2_amd64.deb libva-dev_0.32.0-1+sds2_amd64.deb
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/xvba-video_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i xvba-video_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
My driver installation lines, note the two first:
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
sudo apt-get install -y ia32-libs
cd ~/; mkdir catalyst11.5; cd catalyst11.5/
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
sudo aticonfig --initial -f ##--adapter=all##
sudo reboot
For ASUS e35m1-i deluxe owners, as me, take into account that there applies the bug in the driver where the gfx card seems to be not supported.
Best results on Maverick, using the vaapi versions 0.32+0.7.8 and 11.5 catalyst driver using the following patches:
Code:
##UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE WATERMARK
cd ~/catalyst11.5/
#IF NOT PRESENT
sh ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver
sudo mv /etc/ati/control ~/control.bak
sudo cp driver/common/etc/ati/control /etc/ati
Its also required the DRI patch:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
## ADD ON MODULE:
## Load "dri"
## Change DPMS to false (energy saving)
I have it working on Maverick, only have some slight tearing and HD content not supported.
Natty don't wan't to use the vaapi, drivers or anything. Don't know why.
vainfo shows unknow error and fglrxinfo can't access the device.
I also noticed that pvr xbmc does weird things with subtitles, and only shows embedded ones.
If anyone interested I could share my complete command list+xorg.conf so we can make a working Natty + ASUS e35m1-i deluxe installation.
Best regards,
Sergio.
