If you want to go bleeding edge again stay with the tutorial and keep compiling from git. the mesa repo is still there, but vovochka renamed it slightly and pulled in mesa 10.2 and xserver 1.16rc2 so beware (works fine here with E350): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Vovochka404:/Tumbleweed/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ if you ever search a repo or package for suse just go here: https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=mesa&search_devel=false&search_unsupported=false&baseproject=openSUSE%3ATumbleweed anyway. thanks for the hint. I´ll have to update the howto in some points. the git branch also changed if you don´t want to stay on 13.0 RC1 (gotham). So I switched to 14.0 alpha, called G-Linux, which is said to be containing important patches. I´ll try to find more information on this branch...maybe there is another thread somewhere.

So I switched to 14.0 alpha, called G-Linux, which is said to be containing important patches. I am using XBMC from the Pacman repo. I think it's working good enough (for me, at least). Anyway, thanks for your tutorial! PS: Did you ever thought to open a separate thread for XBMC on OpenSuse? It would certainly be easier to follow (and to maintain). RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2014-06-06 I've been testing the 3.15 kernels tried rc7 first and now rc8 and both have bad frame skipping. 3.14.2-amdfixes5+ runs perfectly. lee@Fusion:~/.xbmc/temp$ dmesg | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/7599572/ lee@Fusion:~/.xbmc/temp$ cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/7599573/ lee@Fusion:~/.xbmc/temp$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/7599574/ lee@Fusion:~/.xbmc/temp$ DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/7599575/ lee@Fusion:~/.xbmc/temp$ dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/7599576/ Screenshot : link At least for me it looks like 3.15 will be a bad kernel. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-06-06 Don't use 13.0 for testing vdpau. Mainline has a big problem when the codec screen is pulled up. It blocks the complete renderer. 13.2 will heavily improve that situation. Same with fernetmenta master? Are you sure that screenshot matches the logfile? RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2014-06-06 I'll try 13.2 when I get home. Made the logs and screen shot both this morning, screens shot matches. With the codec screen off you can still see frame skips, especially will scrolling news banners. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-06-06 Same with Bob? Edit: If this happens only with e.g. Temporal and 3.14.5 is fine with it, then I suggest posting a regression bug on bugs.freedesktop.org - I currently don't run an AMD system on a daily basis, therefore I am not fully up to date. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - mirtouf - 2014-06-06 Is 13.2 a typo mistake meaning actually 13.1 or a future 13.2 release is about to come in the next days or weeks ? RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-06-06 no it's not a typo. 13.1 was released today - but 13.2 will be next and we have some 20 pages prepared for it.

Might that I assumed wrong. it contained alsa stuff some time ago. he used the repo for mesa later on. thus he renamed it now from "alsa" to just "tumbleweed" now.

I think its fine this way. link is still in post 2 of this forum, so easy enough to find for me. Maintanence wouldn´t be easier or harder in separate thread. Replies to my tutorial are rare anyway. If I remember it right, you are the second one that asked for help RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2014-06-06 (2014-06-06, 08:48)fritsch Wrote: Same with Bob? bob appears to be skip free, so it's a problem with temporal in 3.15. EDIT: this is with xbmc 13.0 RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Claudio.Sjo - 2014-06-06 (2014-06-06, 09:35)fritsch Wrote: no it's not a typo. 13.1 was released today - but 13.2 will be next and we have some 20 pages prepared for it. Do you mean all contribute we have seen in this thread? Wow! RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-06-06 @Claudio.Sjo: No - it will be a bugfix release. @deadite66: Please report that regression on the freedesktop bugtracker RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - gfisher - 2014-06-07 @deadite66. I may have seen this too. I went OE 14.5x. My aq01 is very new and picky. I am still sorting it out. OE is very good now on 14.5x. I would still report it on freedesktop. The latest OE is the best thus far. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-06-07 3.15 kernel has a performance regression, introduce by: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=14a9579ddbf15dd1992a9481a4ec80b0b91656d5 It was well thought, but also the gpu clocks are reduced and so time intensive postprocessing (like Temporal deinterlacing) will need too long on E350 / E450 / E2000 hw. Other (faster) hw won't see that effect. Effect for every day tasks: 1080i50 h264 won't work anymore with temporal on E-Series AMD hardware. You will get arround 33 fps. Currently talking with upstream. |
