Linux VAAPI: Nuc, Chromebox, HSW, IVB, Baytrail with Ubuntu 14.04
#14
Thanks for the feedback, will add the libva-glx1 into the installation howto. Colorspace issues, can be workarounded or done via

Code:
for Limited:
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Limited 16:235"
xor for FULL:
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"

you need a recent kernel (best 3.9.x for this to work). It may be that the 3.9.0 kernel correctly identifies your TV / Color Range out of the box without doing anything additional.

-> Gotham for now sucks balls on vaapi, as mpeg-2 is severely broken within ffmpeg, all you get is a nice segfault :-).

On Ubuntu installation is rather easy:
64 bit:
Code:
mkdir ~/3.9.x
cd ~/3.9.x
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-image-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_amd64.deb http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.106_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i *deb
32 bit:
Code:

sudo dpkg -i *deb
sudo reboot
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
