Here are the kernels:

Code:
mkdir 3.13-custom
cd 3.13-custom
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/linux-headers-3.13.0-rc2%2B_0.2_amd64.deb https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/linux-image-3.13.0-rc2%2B_0.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *deb

wow great!
i think what i love about XBMC the most, is the support.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-12-04

Does it work?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-12-04

unfortunately, no. Sad
still no signal


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-12-04

Then report back in your original bugreport.

@fritsch: Does that build have the MPEG-2 fix in it? http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-November/049425.html

@fritsch: When setting up my system, I installed the kernel that was part of the tutorial in the first post. When I do sudo apt-get upgrade now, there is a newer(?) kernel version showing up, which is held back. For having the latest, can I install (dist-upgrade?) that one from the repo (stock?) or should I use the compiled one you posted above?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-12-04

@eroxm,

your system will (should) always use the newest kernel.
i'm assuming you got the update for the 3.11 kernel.
you can update it. it's always good to have a backup kernel on your system in case you ever have to repair a broken/ non functioning kernel

hope that makes sense.

@libgradev: Had a look here: https://github.com/fritsch/linux/commits/master - does that answer the question?

Yup. Yeah I thought it included it, sadly hasn't fixed anything.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-12-04

then back to your bugreport, just link them the above link, so they can see what it includes.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - libgradev - 2013-12-04

I will post back to it in a bit - thanks for taking the time anyway.

The only thing I didn't try was pulling Mesa git again - this was with wsnipex mesa test ppa...

You might want to add this to the Know Issues section on the first page of this thread btw...

The kernel I'm using right now is this one:

(2013-10-03, 10:52)fritsch Wrote: 3.) Update your kernel to a version >= 3.12.0
Remember to wget both files wget file1 file2
Code:
mkdir ~/kernel
cd ~/kernel
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/linux-image-3.12.0%2B_4.0_amd64.deb https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/linux-headers-3.12.0%2B_4.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *3.12.0*deb

Patches applied:
Check my linux fork on github
howto: conservative for this howto - mostly Anssis HDA patch
experimental: Some stuff cherry-picked by Christian

The reason I've asked if I can do the offered (dist-)upgrade is that I'm afraid that something might be broken afterwards.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-12-04

@libgradev: The howto suggest 3.12 kernel which should not have that issue.

Errm the MPEG-2 issue? I've always had it and I started out with the 3.12 kernel from the dropbox link on page 1...
