Re: [Intel-gfx] gstreamer-vaapi does not work with g45
But isn't this a decision to be made by the mainline maintainers? Obviously, but why shouldn't they reject a widely requested feature when the code is mature enough? There was nothing ever rejected, as no patch was ever recieved. So I was told on the MPlayer-users mailing list. MPlayer developers do not crawl the web in search for possible improvements. To get a new feature included in MPlayer, it is best to send a patch to MPlayer-dev-eng list, like it was done with vdpau. I can't do that, I'm no programmer of the C family of languages. Sorry.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Specific resolution without monitor
I'm using an ASUS Eeebox B202 so I don't have the option of adding a different video card. I'm not quite sure what you mean by modifying hardware but replacing the B202 defeats the purpose of trying to use it in the first place. Are you suggesting I avoid Intel graphics cards for this type of setup? My preference would be, that the force-parameters would be enabled again. But I have little hope for that. By modifying hardware I meant to change the circuitry inside the monitor, so that EDID data is transmitted, even when the monitor is switched off. By adding hardware I thought of a device to plug between the computer and the monitor which injects fake EDID data. Those devices, however, do cost about as much as a cheap monitor. By replacing hardware, I meant to use a (modern) monitor which transmits EDID, even without power connected.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Question (about setting brightness and contrast)
Hi! I'm no real expert, but I dare to guess some answers anyway... Will there ever be a Control Center like the Windows version ? Probably not. It is not the job of a driver to communicate with the user. GUIs are made by other people. Your desktop environment could provide such a tool. To increase brightness to 150%, you can use xrandr --output which_one --brightness 1.5 To reduce contrast to 75%, you can use xrandr --output which_one --gamma 0.75:0.75:0.75 Greets, Kiste ___ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
[Intel-gfx] OT: Video tearing
Hi, perhaps one of the experts can answer this in a few words... SandyBridge can prevent tearing only by using pageflipping. pageflipping on Xorg always flips the whole framebuffer, so it can only be synced to one output device. The vaapi-enabled MPlayer plays nice in fullscreen mode (via vaapi or gl), but sometimes tears in windowed mode. Is this a MPlayer, Xorg, intel driver or SandyBridge problem? It's clear that pageflipping can not be syncronized to two displays at once, but I see no theoretical need for a video being fullscreen to make use of pageflipping. Thank you for any hints!

Re: [Intel-gfx] Video tearing on Sandybridge
The only workaround is [...] to only use fullscreen DRI video applications (OpenGL or libva decoders) that use SwapBuffers. Yes, works perfectly while only one screen is connected. That means, this definition of fullscreen is the whole framebuffer, and not the content of one display? This would in some way explain why tearing can not be reliably prevented while more than one screen is active. Thanks for the explanations!

Re: [Intel-gfx] Video tearing on Sandybridge

[Intel-gfx] Video tearing on Sandybridge
Hello, I'm running vaapi-mplayer on debian wheezy, which has fairly up-to-date intel drivers. (Right now i965-va-driver is outdated, so I use the sid package of that.) I do not have any window manager, only X and an xterm. (Really, not even twm. It is only a test installation.) Both output via OpenGL and VA-API play fine if there is only one active screen, or two screens which display the same picture (clone mode). If, however, two screens are next to or on top of each other, playing video on one of the screens can show some tearing. It is not always seen with normal video, a special test pattern is helpful. Also, it does only tear in one out of ten tries, you can hit pause again and again, sooner or later the tearing will appear, and disappear again after the next pause/unpause cycle. While the tearing is there, it stays at about the same height of the video until the next pause/unpause cycle. Most times it is seen in the top third of the video. It does not matter if the video is fullscreen or not. One screen is 1440x900 via DVI, the other is 1920x1080 via HDMI. Both screens run 60Hz, my test video is 30fps and full 1920x1080. Is it likely that this is a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you all!

How could this be implemented in a clean way? Of course forcing LVDS on should become a parameter, A patch for this was made some time ago, but it was not accepted in the end.

[Intel-gfx] LVDS output not working (anymore)
Hello list! I'm using intel D945GSEJT boards, connected to industrial LVDS panels without EDID or the like. On debian 5.0 this did work when disabling kms (parameter nomodeset). When running X, LVDS could be enabled using xrandr. Now, on debian 6.0, LVDS output does not show up in xrandr's output list anymore. I understand that there have been some recent changes that are not fully applied to debian 6.0. Is there a way to activate the LVDS output? I wouldn't need X, a working framebuffer would be fine. I've tried intelfb on 2.6.37 kernel, but it crashes (reboots) at once when I execute modprobe intelfb. No log messages are visible after the reboot, I presume the messages aren't written to disk in time before the reboot occurs.
