Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

gsedej looks like you using an old kernel. For Ubuntu you can get an newer kernel @ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

[gsedej]

Oh, thanks. Yes I installed because I am did this on my laptop (RV350) and it works. I will purge it and install your.

My kernel:
gsedej@seraph:~$ uname -a
Linux seraph 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That's the latest natty kernel, but that bug may be fixed in a later kernel. Try compiling yourself latest 2.6.39.x (there are no newer kernel on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ for natty) or try upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 (ships a 3.0.x kernel).

But the new version work without problems for me. 11.04 with 3.0.

I updated the package, try in a couple of hour, hopefully it should work (before they were installed in /usr/lib/amd64-linux-gnu/vdpau/).

Perfect perfect. Thanks.

HI, how configure VDPAU_DRIVER=r600 default?

to play i write VDPAU_DRIVER=r600 mplayer -vo vdpau etc.
can simply mplayer -vo vdpau etc.
Thanks

[Vincenzov]

I updated the package, try in a couple of hour, hopefully it should work (before they were installed in /usr/lib/amd64-linux-gnu/vdpau/).

Same problem /usr/lib/dri /"only 1 files"

but, i have only this problem?

i extract deb and copy the files inside /usr/lib/dri

:-)

[Vincenzov]

HI
I am the only one having this problem?
I am sorry to make you do extra work.
Thanks

You are mixing VDPAU and XvMC here, see the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/ for how to use it.

Anyway I now also moved xvmc libs into /usr/lib/dri/ (new builds in a couple of hours). This means that multiarch will not be supported (probably not needed anyway...) but it should be a bit simpler to configure (i.e. i386 conf == amd64 conf == instructions on PPA page).

OK perfect (files).
