Thanks,

Thanks for the build, it does indeed provide the state trackers
(manually added the respective packages with Yast).
Wish I could report as equal success with actual usage results with them
LOL. I would have to say these state trackers are definitely what's
known as a "work in progress". Though I haven't played around with them
much yet (just a few basic tests with mplayer (the original)), the video
quality is poor -- choppy (mplayer complains the system is too slow) and
there are lots of red/green artifacts (as has been reported by many
others elsewhere;
http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?57261-Mesa-Gallium3D-Pipe-Video-Has-Landed
... though I seem to get better results then the images shown in that
thread, but my results are far from free of artifacts as others report).
I'm curious what the experience with them would be like with r300 or
nouveau supported hardware would be, so if there are other readers with
such devices using them, please report.
I note that there hasn't been too much work on these state trackers
lately (see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/log/?qt=grep&q=xvmc &
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/log/?qt=grep&q=vdpau ), but I
believe that the primary contributor, Christian König, is currently busy
with the pursuit along another interesting avenue (see
http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?69261-Radeon-UVD-Support-Going-Through-Code-Review&p=253608#post253608
). Hopefully in time both of these will become fully useful.
Anyway, Thanks again!
