As it seems nobody is too interested in this driver and gpu anymore. I would like to share some experience though for those who might need it.
Apart from all the above information, even though the video is reported incorrectly as gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (llvm 0x300) the 2d acceleration works ALMOST satisfactory under Ubuntu 12.04 (with older generic kernels). Some videos drop frames. I suppose the reason is difference in the support for different codecs. Youtube works very bad. Same for vimeo. However youtube is quite OK if played through VLC player with the help of Youtube video and playlist importer - http://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php/+Youtube+playlist+importer?content=149909. My overall opinion is that intel d2700dc board with (I believe) GMA 3650 GPU is NOT a good board if you plan to use it as video playing device under linux. As the hardware is not in production anymore this is unlikely to change. For all of you who think that the traditionally good Intel linux support warrants flawless performance under Ubuntu and there is no need to check if the specific hardware is well supported - think again :) I did this mistake and won't repeat it for any manufacturer from now on. It is a bit sad that after all these years and the progress linux made both in terms of usability for the ordinary user and popularity, the driver support for big number of hardware is sub par. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132584 Title: cedarview-drm kernel module fails to build on kernel 3.5.x [error: implicit declaration of function 'do_mmap'] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cedarview-drm-drivers/+bug/1132584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
