Bug#583501: RFA: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- display driver for VIA Unichrome video chipsets
Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-debbugs-cc: debian-x@lists.debian.org, debian-de...@lists.debian.org Hi, I no longer have time and working hardware to maintain and test the package. I'm therefore looking for somebody who wants to adopt it. Anyone willing to maintain it please contact the Debian X Strike Force (debia...@lists.d.o). Some info about the package: Description: X.Org X server -- VIA display driver OpenChrome is a project for the development of free and open-source drivers for the VIA UniChrome video chipsets. . Originally called the 'snapshot' release, since it was a snapshot of an experimental branch of the unichrome cvs code, this is a continued development of the open source unichrome driver (from http://unichrome.sf.net) which also incorporates support for the unichrome-pro chipsets. . Support for hardware acceleration (XvMC) for all chipsets has subsequently been ripped out of the unichrome.sf.net driver. Therefore your only option if you wish to make use of the acceleration features of your VIA chip with free and open-source drivers is to use this version of the driver. Homepage: http://www.openchrome.org Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video- openchrome.git Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video- openchrome I'm going to make one, hopefully last, upload to reflect some changes to the xorg packages build system.

Bug#464848: RFP: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- Improved Xorg video driver for VIA UniChrome graphics chipsets
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome Version : 0.2.901 Upstream Author : OpenChrome Project [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.openchrome.org/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : Improved Xorg video driver for VIA UniChrome graphics chipsets OpenChrome is based on VIA's UniChrome video driver. It seems to be much more actively maintained than the via driver in Xorg. It also has features such as 3D acceleration and XvMC for certain chipsets. There is already an Ubuntu package, and I found this git repository: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome.git But it's still nice to have a wnpp bug tracking it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

via unichrome
Moin, i have built a version of your x.org packages, which include an updated version of the via unichrome drivers, which enables using the hardware mpeg decoding facility of the chip using the XvMC VLD extension (which already has been merged into x.org cvs). now i have two questions: 1) are you interested in including the changes into the 'official' debian x.org packages? 2) if yes: what would be the preferred way of submitting them? most of my changes are done in the debian/patches directory, but some (the extra files in the libxvmc1/libxvmc-dev packages) are direct modifications, which are not built/tested on/for anything except i386 (should run also at least on amd64), so my changes are at the moment i386 specific. as I don't want to clutter the list with diffs: you can get the updated debian diff from http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~glaweh/debian/unichrome-xorg/xorg-x11_6.8.2.dfsg.1-3unichrome20050629.1.diff.gz which is based on the xsf -3 release in unstable. p.s.: please cc me when replying, as I am not subscribed to debian-x -- c u henning -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
