To bump that issue a bit. We are running self made packages by wsnipex (https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex) since more than 6 months now. Trusty would bring everything (kernel, mesa, etc.) to be in really good shape for OSS radeon with vdpau.
If you need some background information or even want to see it in action, have look here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174854 It would be really nice to have that relevant package included in trusty by default. Remember: Slow AMD E350 Fusion CPU are not able to play any HD content on their CPU, therefore GPU decoding support is a must. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002224 Title: Please include gallium vdpau and xvmc driver support Status in Mesa: New Status in “mesa” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Mesa 8.0+ now supports eg. hw accelerated video decoding via the VDPAU API, and XvMC support, over Gallium on at least Radeon r300+ and r600+.
