Posted: Sun 14 Sep 2014, 13:19 Post subject: Note 1: 700 beta1 is a bit bigger than alpha1 because it comes with Firefox and Seamonkey *combined*. The default browser is set to Firefox, *however*, do not uninstall Seamonkey even if you don't use it because in this release Seamonkey and Firefox uses the same libraries (in other words - if you uninstall Seamonkey, Firefox will stop working). This is similar to 631.



Note 2: Please checkout the updated FAQs.

Posted: Mon 15 Sep 2014, 16:54 Post subject: Radeon RS880G UVD/VDPAU Hello jamesbond



I did say that I hadn't done it before... Why is there so much misinformation out there when the right answer is so simple:



Code: make modules_prepare

make M=drivers/gpu/drm/radeon



Having sorted that, there's good news and bad news.



The bad news: mesa/VDPAU is broken in fd700b1 but working in fd700a1 and fd630

from fd700b1:



Code: # vdpauinfo

display: :0 screen: 0

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Error creating VDPAU device: 1



It's trying to load the VDPAU wrapper to VAAPI which doesn't work, even if I install the package, because there is no VAAPI decoder.



with fd700a1 and fd630



Code: # vdpauinfo

display: :0 screen: 0

API version: 1

Information string: G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0



Video surface:



name width height types

-------------------------------------------

420 8192 8192 NV12 YV12

422 8192 8192 UYVY YUYV

444 8192 8192 Y8U8V8A8 V8U8Y8A8



Decoder capabilities:

MPEG1 0 262144 8192 8192

MPEG2_SIMPLE 3 262144 8192 8192

MPEG2_MAIN 3 262144 8192 8192



Output surface:

B8G8R8A8 8192 8192 y NV12 YV12 UYVY YUYV Y8U8V8A8 V8U8Y8A8

B10G10R10A2 8192 8192 y NV12 YV12 UYVY





This is finding the old shader based VDPAU decoder that Christian König wrote years ago. But at least mesa/vdpau is working.



----



THE GOOD NEWS!



radeon/uvd is working with my RS880G at least as far as the kernel/drm.



Code: Sep 15 20:20:09 fatdog64-610 kern.err kernel: [drm:uvd_v1_0_start] *ERROR* UVD not responding, trying to reset the VCPU!!!

Sep 15 20:20:09 fatdog64-610 kern.info kernel: [drm] ring test on 5 succeeded in 1 usecs

Sep 15 20:20:09 fatdog64-610 kern.info kernel: [drm] UVD initialized successfully.



One step at a time!

I thought that stuff was removed before beta1 got out. Oh well. We're going to remove libva and some other associated stuff. If you look at /etc/profile and find:



export VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl



You'll want to change va_gl to what ever your chipset uses, maybe r600. Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search for vdpau to find what exactly to put there. You might have to use the proprietary driver along with xvba-driver to make that work. Really don't think it's worth it.

Not sure if installing over A1s is recommend but it is a really nice feature to not have to restore my settings and personal files (they were backed up prior to the upgrade)

Anyway, the innards is here: /usr/sbin/fatdog-drive-icon-udev-handler.sh line 97 - change "PROCEED=yes" to "PROCEED=".
