How can I install qvdpautest?

Thanx, but this answer is a little too abstract for me ;-). Should I conclude from this that there is a bug in Xorg or the OSS radon driver which caused the crash?

Read back the forum, I already told some months ago.

Yes :-) I fear so.

tomorrow, i'll try to revert back to the stable mesa, and see what the increases where / are.
but these numbers look great!

[fritsch]

The implementation of qvdpautest "sucks a bit". xbmc is much faster. I would say approx 20% from my testing.

[eroxm]

After puzzeling together the dependencies I managed to compile qvdpautest, so here are the results after installing latest mesa from test ppa:

Looks good so far, but the 1080p60 sample that fritsch posted has a lot dropping and skipping, the 1080p50 has no drops, but some skips too. Something's still wrong...

mesa 10.0.3 copied to mesa ppa.

[fritsch]

1080p50 is approx max a E350 Fusion can do. That's also what we got with fglrx. The 1080p60 I got running on my Kabini.
Btw. to benchmark xbmc, is not so easy - as the "Renderer" skips in order to make it more fluent.

So - we are perfect now.

What's missing from my side:
Proper Limited Range / Full Range support.

[eroxm]

Ok, maybe I have to wait a bit more till some Mini-ITX Boards with A4-5000 APU are out and get one of those. TDP of 15W looks promising for HTPC purposes...

What kind of Kabini setup do you have?

[fritsch]

Zotac Box

[pyrodex]

fritsch what is your thoughts on 3.14-rc1?

[fritsch]

@pyrodex: No thoughts, no time - if you are on radeon_si you might want it.
