Is there any chance to get video decoding (x264, vc1) implemented?
Hello, currently is seems to be impossible to get hardware acccelerated video decoding with open source drivers (except broadcom bcm700xx) and all google search results on this topic pointed to fglrx and xvba. I wonder what the reason may be. Was the information needed to interface the decoding unit not included in the documentation that AMD released last year? KMS, Xvideo and even 3D is working really nice with current xf86-video-ati and libdrm (from git). With my 3870 and 4350 2D works much better with the open source drivers than with fglrx recently. A working vaapi is the only thing missing. I would like the radeon wiki page (http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon) and/or the vaapi wiki page (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi) to have this topic included. I just dont have enough information to write something useful. Does anyone know more about this? I assume there are licensing problems involved again.

I don't know the details how it is archived. I don't know about Ubuntu, but I managed to get radeon.ko loaded early in the boot process on Debian by including it in the initramfs with a hook script. It could be loaded earlier and easier, except for udev not being available to handle the firmware loading when /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is processed. See Debian bug 561476 [1] for my fix, and bugs 543717 [2] and 557439 [3] for related initramfs/firmware discussion.

I just dont have enough information to write something useful. R1xx-r5xx GPUs use the 3D engine to accelerate video decode. r1xx-r2xx have a special video mode in the 3D engine and r3xx-r5xx use shaders. R6xx+ have a decoder block (UVD), but they could also use shaders to implement video decode just like the previous chips. All of the info needed for a shader-based implementation is available: http://www.x.org/docs/AMD http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/ATIStreamSDKv1.4Beta/Pages/default.aspx http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/pages/Documentation.aspx But at the moment, no one has done the implementation. We are investigating if we can release any information about UVD, but there are potential problems due to the drm requirements of other systems. Alex Does anyone know more about this? I assume there are licensing problems involved again.

is rc410 considered part of R400?
Hello, In the Radeon features page as well as the main page hosted by xorg, only the status of Rx00 chipsets is displayed. Is the RC410 chipset part of which of these families? is it simply R400? I apologize for the basic question, but I wanted to clarify this.

Re: is rc410 considered part of R400?
Ok, but this still doesn't answer my question. When I go to these websites: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon In the first one, I can only see info for RX00, RS690 and Evergreen... and the 2nd website has only info about RX00 (that status part). Do these things apply to my chipset as well?...under what family are they included?...or are they not included at all...if so, then what is the status of 2D and 3D acceleration for the RC410 chipset (ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955)?...that is, is it using EXA and it is stable..what is missing?
