Actually the package from Andrew does work. What is not needed are the
packages from splitted desktop.
@RussianNeuroMancer: saw your bug report - I think you may be missing
the last step below (system variables).
Here's how I got vaapi to work on Natty / AMD64 / Catalyst 11.5 from x-updates:
- Install libva1 and libva-dev after adding the x-udpates PPA
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=natty
- use the latest xvba-va-video package (this is the equivalent of
libvdpau in Nvidia), that provides the ATI XVBA backend to the VAAPI library,
from here:
https://launchpad.net/~rexbron/+archive/bugfixes
(fixes a problem in splitted-desktop xvba-video package; do not use the
one from splitted-desktop)
sudo apt-get install xvba-video
- add the following to /etc/environment (and then reboot)
LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx
After this, vainfo output should show something like the below (note the
fglrx reference):
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
libva: User requested driver 'fglrx'
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.7.8
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
This is working fine with XBMC.
