RE: XVideo on radeon mobility HD 5470
Firmware for your card has been released, but userspace acceleration code is still under development. It's the acceleration code to *implement* Xv on your GPU that you're missing. When the acceleration code appears, you'll also need 2.6.35 or higher kernel drive to support it. -Original Message- From: xorg-bounces+john.bridgman=amd@lists.freedesktop.org [mailto:xorg-bounces+john.bridgman=amd@lists.freedesktop.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Hutchison Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 2:33 AM To: xorg@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: XVideo on radeon mobility HD 5470 I have a Radeon Mobility HD 5470 in my laptop, but XVideo does not work. xvinfo reports there are no adaptors present.

The firmware is available and newer kernels will load it, but the exa/xv/3d accel code is not available yet.
