      New recipes for intel xorg driver and linux firmware packages were created. Just wait until launchpad start creating, building and compiling packages...
      @pali: Thank you. I will try your ppa today and give you feedback about the progress.

      • I created recipe also for nouveau xorg driver. So after some time launchpad will sync sources from git freedesktop and start creating daily builds...

          hi, I just update my kernel to -lts-saucy. Installed your ppa and smplayer+mplayer. but when I try to play the video, it seems no hardware acc because the video so laggy.
          here is the log

          Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
          - Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
            - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
            - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
          - Slow video output
            - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
          - Slow CPU
            - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
              e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
          - Broken file
            - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
          - Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
            - Try -cache 8192.
          - Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
            - Try -nocache.
          Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips.
          If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

              It contains daily builds of libdrm, mesa and xorg radeon driver.
              Can you support ubuntu 12.10 as well? Would be really appreciated~

                12.10 will be unsupported by canonical very early and then they also turn off every PPAs for 12.10... And it does not make sense to support 12.10. 12.04 is LTS. I downgraded from 12.10 to 12.04. So I have no motivation for 12.10.

                  Ah, fair enough, I might go to 12.04 myself instead of 13.10 (or 14.04).

                      Can you paste the errors?

                      Make sure you have a video card that supports UVD2.2 (at least) or UVD3. You also need the libg3dvl-mesa package.
                      Install vdpauinfo, run it in terminal and paste the output to that as well.
                      I also suggest mpv player over mplayer. For one thing I'd say it's a very sane fork of mplayer with active devs.
