Open-Source AMD UVD Now Works For RadeonSI

[bnolsen]

also waiting for actual 4k30hz support for desktop.

I guess my Kabini notebook is coming closer. Really close.

radeonsi looks more and more appealing. The only missing part is the proper support of runpm on my laptop.

- and (hybrid) crossfire support
- linux mantle support
- OpenGL 4.4
- for the R series true audio support (does someone know if this is planned / work in progress?)
- official SteamOS support replacing catalyst!
- a bit more optimization / performance

and a nice gui (extending radeonprofile) with:
- overclocking / fan control
- different game profiles
- 75 hz support (but I think thats up to mesa or the KDE monitor config tool)
- full color / video settings
- what did I forget?

wishful thinking ... however... so far so GOOOD guys! Keep it going! Big thanks to the Devs out there!

It doesn't work with mesa 9.2.5. Does it work for you with:

EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
OverrideGPUValidation=1

in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg?

52 fps? Is that the expected performance, or is there still room for improvement? Considering that won't be enough for 1080p60, but I have no idea if the closed source drivers could do that either.

[darkbasic]

Yes, but UVD used to freeze the system for a few seconds with 3.13 for me so I suggest you to use 3.14. Here you can see what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDhB61U9S0A

I backported latest graphic stack to 3.13 if you are interested: http://www.linuxsystems.it/linux-drm...ack-backports/

Is this mini patch enough to fix kernel 3.13 as well?

Are you sure it isn't a flash issue? Flash crashes pretty regularly for me even when I'm not using it for video. If not, can you bisect mesa? File a bug and attach the backtrace from the crash.

If I disable hardware acceleration in mms.cfg it doesn't crash. I will try with mesa 9.2.5 and let you know.

P.S.
Flash player hardware acceleration doesn't work anymore since one/two months: flash player crashes 90% of the times when you start a video. Is it a known regression?
