Well, if you are using an i386 or pure amd64 distro, then you dont need the chroot environments. In that case building the mesa source packages is easier.

In order to do that you can set up two chroot environments (one for amd64, another for i386). You need to install the build dependencies as well as the llvm-3.4 packages and libtinfo-dev (I had to install this lib manually since it was not in the build-dep), edit the debian/rules contained inside the mesa tarball from oibaf's ppa in order to change llvm-config-3.3 to llvm-config-3.4 and dpkg-buildpackage the mesa packages.
This way I am enjoying OpenGL 3.0 on radeonsi.

In any case oibaf's work is just awesome. He beats the guys at canonical since he enabled radeonsi + glamor support quite some time ago.

Thanks for the appreciations and a little update:- on 32 bit I am now compiling with -march=pentium3 -mtune=generic , this now requires a Pentium 3 (before a Pentium 2 was required and MMX/SSE were disabled);
- as you may have read mesa is now at 10.0 with OpenGL 3.2.

I'll update later.

I have installed Kubuntu 13.10 on my laptop with Radeon graphics
Code:$ uname -r 3.11.0-12-generic $ dmesg | grep UVD [ 3.884511] [drm] UVD initialized successfully. $ vdpauinfo display: :0 screen: 0 Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error creating VDPAU device: 1
OK, so how do I get UVD hardware video acceleration via vdpau working properly?
