All those patches are in xbmc mainline. Just follow the howto, switch to Expert Settings and disable Mpeg-2, no need to compile manually (anymore).

Thanks. I found it by following what you said.

But if all the patches are in mainline, can't we just use the official nightlies as well? Or am I missing something completely?

One is missing, which affects you if you run Mesa 10.1 rc2, which is the surface mapping and unmapping.

For stable mesa 10, you can also use mainline.

Ah ok clear, thanks!
So I would guess that whenever Mesa 10.1 turns stable the remaining features will go in mainline as well?

Fernet has already PRd it - will be in Gotham.

hi, guys... i've just registered to find some help about a problem i'm facing that is been frustrating me by some time now...

so here's the deal:

my config:
AMD A8-3870K (SUMO)
Asrock A75M-ITX (latest UEFI 1.60)
connected through HDMI to an LG TV

i have followed the howto on the first post step by step and when i power on the PC and the TV is already ON and on the PROPER HDMI input everything works GREAT!
but if i power on the TV after the PC already booted then i get no signal and no matter what there's no way i'm able to output any video signal to the TV.

here's the relevant logs:
dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017773/
xbmc.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017774/
Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017775/
vdpauinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017776/
mesa http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017777/

i'm able to reproduce exactly the same behavior with the latest openelec snapshots, i've tried up to r17837. using an ASUS monitor with HDMI instead of the LG TV shows the same behavior.
i have tried forcing a working display mode through a custom xorg.conf as suggested here (of course using the radeon driver) but it produces no differences.

here's the logs when i power ON the TV before the PC and everything works:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017668/
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017669/
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017670/
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017671/
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017677/

i'm sure it's not relevant but i don't have this problem with the fglrx driver.

sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help!

No edid no screen.

See the last part: Audio debugging, that might solve your issue, cause of hardcoding the EDID info.

[Manp]

i'm trying to get the edid "override" to work...with not much luck

in the meantime i'll ask you why i randomly get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017962/
even without the edid override

You do the drm-kms workaround wrong - you speficy HDMI-0 which is not what you are supposed to do :-)

And "this error" you show me is exact that problem. It did not find any monitors attached.

so i have to use drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/marantz.bin even if the hdmi is called HDMI-0 in the xorg log?
i used to get that error [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:00:01.0: No such file or directory even before attempting any EDID override http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017520/

btw i feel like i'm abusing your kindness, this is starting to look like a chat

[fritsch]

what about: HDMI-A-0 or better you directly look into /sys/class/drm to see how your output is named?

[Manp]

ok, i think i'm doing the edid override right since the one i see in the log is definitely the same from the marantz.bin from the first post and looking at /sys/class/drm seems to point to HDMI-A-1

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7018238/


but when i boot the PC and then power on the TV i still get no signal and no edid in the log

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7018286/

[fritsch]

all fine in both logs.

Add to /etc/default/grub behind the drm_kms_helper stuff: video=HDMI-A-1:e

[Manp]

it kinda works...


one step closer i guess

out of curiosity i tried with the edid i extracted from my own TV and i get the same result

edit: oh, and i get no audio
