Hello, I run the Gentoo Linux distribution and use a self-compiled Linux 3.10.17 kernel. According to
[1] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM/ [2] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/ I need the original firmware from the binary driver in order to sucessully use DRM and to use VDPAU video acceleration. I used the python script from [2] and I had a look at the ebuild from [3] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480832 to extract the firmware and to place it at /lib/firmware/nouveau. But I do not see any dmesg output about loading the firmware. I do not see any dmesg output about nouveau failing to do so either. I neither do no see any "nouveau <pci id>: firmware: requesting nouveau/" in my kernel output. Anyway VDPAU seems to work. If I call mplayer with "-vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,...", I don't get any error message and my CPU load drops from 30% to 7% for a recent mpeg transport stream 1080p video. In conclusion, do I still need the firmware? Do the information given at [1], [2] still apply or are they outdated?
