If you have any questions or problems setting up UVD on Gentoo, stop by #gentoo-desktop on freenode IRC. Everything works fine, except when trying to start Supertuxkart, which worked fine. The new version of DXVK 1.6.1 gets to fix some bugs and crashes in games. Acknowledgement sent to merlin : New Bug report received and forwarded.Whatâs new in SuperTuxkart 1. (Sun, 22:39:04 GMT) (full text, mbox, link). This supposedly works with all the Gallium drivers (i915g, radeon, nouveau, llvmpipe).Īn example screenshot of Supertuxkart using GALLIUM_HUD="cpu0+cpu1+cpu2:100,cpu:100,fps draw-calls,requested-VRAM+requested-GTT,pixels-rendered" SuperTuxKart 1.2, free and open-source kart racing game, was officially released a day ago. To make mplayer use acceleration by default, uncomment the section in /etc/mplayer/nfĪnother cool new feature is the Gallium3D HUD (link via Phoronix), which can be enabled with the GALLIUM_HUD environment variable. If mplayer and its dependencies were correctly built with VDPAU support, running it with "-vc ffh264vdpau," parameter will output something like the following when playing back a H.264 file: Radeon/TAHITI_uvd.bin: Southern Islands cards and Trinity APUs. Radeon/SUMO_uvd.bin: Northern Islands cards and Zacate/Llano APUs. Radeon/RV770_uvd.bin: Not useful at this time. linux-firmware-20130421 now contains the UVD firmware, too. If you require other firmware from the linux-firmware package, remove the radeon files from the savedconfig file and build the package with USE="savedconfig" to allow installation together with radeon-ucode. The firmware is part of radeon-ucode-20130402, but has not yet reached the linux-firmware tree. For kernel 3.8 I have collected the necessary patches here, but be warned that kernel 3.8 is not officially supported. Additionally you will need a patched kernel and new firmware.įor kernel 3.9, grab the 10 patches from the dri-devel mailing list thread (recommended) I put the patches into a tarball and attached to Gentoo bug 466042. In case you want to give it a try, mesa-9.2_pre20130404 has been added (under package.mask) to the portage tree for your convenience. Those of you who don't live under a rock will have learned by now that AMD has published VDPAU code to use the Radeon UVD engine for accelerated video decode with the free/open source drivers.
