RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - tsoifun - 2014-02-25
(2014-02-25, 12:07)wsnipex Wrote: use the server iso and select "minimal" when pressing F4 from the bootloader
I've downloaded 13.10 server and in bootloader pressed F4 - there is only "normal" is shown. If I press F4 again - nothing happens. If I continue with install it blocks internal keayboard as well.
I tried LUBUNTU 13.10 but it blocked internal keyboard as well.
Seems for me only 13.4 may work - at least it does not block internal keyboard and I wonder whether there are any changes in steps as shown on p.1 - any comments? Why do installers block internal keyboard?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - laric - 2014-02-25
Wouldnt a normal installation of 13.10 server be rather ok? Afaik it doesn't install any packages that disturb XBMC or X in any way.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-02-25
no idea what happens on your hardware. if you can install 13.04 then do so, then upgrade to 13.10 with do-release-upgrade.
After that follow the howto.
@laric; a server install will work, but render you with some unneeded packages.

After that follow the howto.

.................... after do-release-upgrade internal keyboard is disabled....
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-02-25
interesting, probably a kernel problem. You might want to open a bug report on ubuntu.

I think I will just simply install 13.04 and install normal xbmc to see how it works
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - VanillaXtract - 2014-02-25
If your hardware has a PS/2 port, then only a PS/2 keyboard will work during 13.10 installs. Same thing happened to me.
EDIT: Check to see if you can disable it in the BIOS would be an option too.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - morktral - 2014-02-25
@tsoifun
Why not just follow the instruction?
See the Changelog:

RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - neiljones - 2014-02-25
Hi
I have hit a problem. The instructions say to change some settings in XBMC. I am running Frodo and I don't see these options anywhere
4.) XBMC settings
System->Settings->System->Video Settings:
Vertical Sync: Always on
System ->Video->Playback:
VDPAU: On
Prefer VDPAU Mixer: ON
VAAPI: off
Adjust Refreshrate to match video: On
Sync Playback to Display: On
Sync Method: Video Clock (Drop/Dupe)
Any ideas?

This howto is for Gotham ... Follow it or open a new thread.

Hi,
I read about some good behavior from AMD
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-radeon-beta-drivers-thief,26145.html
can we benefit from their help (in kernel 3.14)?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-26
Yes - that's an effect of what we are currently seeing. I think fglrx will be completely abondoned in the future. Perhaps it's only kept left for some industry customers.
You can already try 3.14-rc4 it's on ubuntu mainline ...

i'm running with my AMD Radeon 8xxx
working fine for me

sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev
git clone https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout vdpau-settings
./bootstrap ; ./configure --disable-debug --disable-vaapi --enable-vdpau
make -j4
Compilation is finished when you have a xbmc.bin in that directory, if not something went wrong. Just run make (without -j) at that point again.
sudo make install
Change /etc/init/xbmc.conf to not start /usr/bin/xbmc but rather /usr/local/bin/xbmc - you need to install pvr addons manuall from zip with that approach. I hope to be able to submit that PR soon upstream.
I have the same problem with playing MPEG2 movie and I am going to follow the above post to make my own xbmc. Just two quick questions
(a) Will this be set as default in the xbmc one day such that i don't have to compile my own ?
(b) I am not familiar with git. Is running 'git pull' good enough to bring in the new changes ?
Thanks.
