    Hardware video acceleration not working on HD4530 (DisablePCIEx1LaneUVD?????)

    Hi everybody.
    I'm totally new to this forums but I think this is the best place to ask for this.

    My machine is an ASUS EEEPC EB1006.
    Despite of following every tutorial I've found about ATI hardware video acceleration I haven't got it to work.
    But there's one thing curious. In Windows I got it but I must "insert" a value at the registry because it's not activated by default in Catalyst drivers.
    This value is DisablePCIEx1LaneUVD and must set to 0.
    I'm asking if this could be happening on Linux Catalyst drivers too.

    Any ideas ?

    Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my english.

      Hi Kano.

      Well, I'm now preparing a new fresh Ubuntu maverick install.
      I'll install the last Catalyst drivers and then... could you please tell me what's next ?
      I suppose libva from http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/.
      Is it better package or compiled?

      Wish to know the really right steps!

      Thanks.

        Hi Kano.

        I've just installed a new fresh Ubuntu maverick.
        It has the last Catalyst driver so, what's next ?

        I suppose libva from splitted desktop but, package or compile it ?

        Wish to know the right steps.

        Thank you very much.

          All wrong assumptions...
          Code:
          sudo -i
cd /tmp
wget -N http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh
DISPLAY= sh install-fglrx-debian.sh -z
reboot
          Then
          Code:
          wget -qO- http://kanotix.com/files/fix/mplayer-vaapi-latest.txt|sudo bash
          And then try again...

            Hello txboy, which libva-sds version did you try to compile?

            If you tried to compile libva-0.32.0-sds1, currently xvba-video doesn't support it (this also happens if you try to use xvba-video with libva 1.0.9/1.0.10 from Freedesktop.org). I can confirm it as I tested it by myself (yesterday) and it gives an API version error.

            If you want to have vaapi acceleration with Catalyst, ATM try to use xvba-video-0.7.8-pre1, along with the latest libva-0.31-sds version + mplayer-vaapi from Splitted Desktop. I can confirm this combination is working properly ATM.

            Cheers

              AFAICS, there is no such PCS entry in the Linux Catalyst version.

                Still no hardware acceleration with this.

                I think that the DisablePCIEx1LaneUVD option is the cause.
                In fact, ASUS sells this machine as HD video playbak and the oficial ASUS video driver has that option enabled, but no the Catalyst one.

                If, as gbeauche said, there is no such PCS entry in the Linux Catalyst version, don't know what to do now. Perhaps sending a bug to ATI ?

                Anyway, I'm going to post my results.

- Slow video output
  - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!

                This video works like a charm in Windows.
                You can see the "xvba_video: XVBA_CreateDecode(): status 2

                  Could it be Chrome ?
                  I have to write post twice to do it appear.
