Hello Debian users I just upgraded to Debian 8 Jessie (testing) and experience strange behaviour with hardware accelerated video decoding.
When starting VLC I get the following error message: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_radeonsi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory However, GPU based video acceleration seems to work as video streams that used to cause extreme CPU load in Debian 7 now run smoothly using almost no CPU time. To fix this error message I installed the package mesa-vdpau-drivers :amd64 (10.3.2-1) which is supposed to provide the missing driver file. This seems to be a bad idea because now the VLC video output stays black but instead I get a huge amount of identical error messages: [00007fa1e4050518] vdpau_display vout display error: presentation queue display failure: An invalid handle value was provided. Either the handle does not exist at all, or refers to an object of an incorrect type. I am using a Radeon HD 7750 with the open source radeon driver: $ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750 / R7 250E] $ glxinfo | grep vendor server glx vendor string: SGI client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI OpenGL vendor string: X.Org I am running Debian 8 Jessie (testing) AMD64. The system is up to date (ran dist-upgrade before writing this message). I have 3 displays attached to the Radeon graphics card and configured as follow: $ xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --auto --pos 0x0 --output HDMI-0 --auto --pos 1920x0 --output DVI-0 --auto --pos 3840x0 Does someone with similar hardware experience the same symptoms? Is this intended behaviour (possibly due to a hardware bug or driver incompatibility)? Or is this a bug in the mesa-vdpau-drivers which should be reported? thanks! lukn555 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
