Linux Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto)
The white screen issue affects me too on a Shuttle XS35GSv3 with AMD Seymour, but I can wait for a proper fix too. Thanks for all the great work!
Thanks... I was having the white screen issue too, but reverting the commit as suggested by antares81 got my vdpau working nicely again!

I'm running gentoo and was getting the git's.
@antares81

I'm going to have to wait for the ppa update. Thanks for the info though. I may give it a try.
according to the launchpad page:
=== Using VDPAU/XvMC accelerated video ===
Supported XvMC drivers: softpipe, r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau
Supported VDPAU drivers: softpipe, r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau

how do I know that I'm using the radeonsi drivers? is there an *. so file for that or is this the default? for the /XvMCConfig file?

Same here. A8-5500.
Yeah I discussed this commit with the oss vdpau devs. It is a permission issue and the Interop patch needs rebasing / adaption. I mailed Christian about it. Yeah such things might happen more often in the future as vdpau oss is still heavily in develpment and as long as the interop patch is not in mainline master.

Edit: Can you verify that one helps: https://gist.github.com/grigorig/6927130 ?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
How do I build the mesa on my own?

I have the ppa installed atm.. Should I just leave them installed,, remove the ppa and build mesa and install.. and if so.. how to build it? I have cloned it and reverted the commit.
Don't revert. Add the patch above.

I apologize in advance for my obvious and annoying n00bery, but can I use that patch on the ppa-installed mesa package? And, if yes, how would I go about doing such a thing? Is there a how-to-patch-an-ubuntu-package anyone could point me to?

confirmed, the patch fixes it for me. No need to revert the other commit anymore. Thank you! Smile

How can i add it? I saved it in the 32de663ae6a03ea40f307160ea6c6926d70ca18d.patch file.
Code:
$ git am 32de663ae6a03ea40f307160ea6c6926d70ca18d.patch
Patch format detection failed.
?
just do a
Code:
patch -Np1 -i $patchfile
in the source directory. If you want to add it to your repo, use git add/git commit afterwards.
Code:
$ patch -Np1 -i 32de663ae6a03ea40f307160ea6c6926d70ca18d.patch
patching file src/gallium/winsys/radeon/drm/radeon_drm_winsys.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 17: /* Enable/disable feature access for one command stream.

?
looks like something got messed up while doing copy/paste. Did you use the "Download Gist" button on the left?
I downloaded it again, used the default name.

Code:
$ patch -Np1 -i gistfile1.txt
patching file src/gallium/winsys/radeon/drm/radeon_drm_winsys.c
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
