It's not going to help with the older ATI Radeon Xpress 200M, but video decoding and playback on your ATI Radeon HD 6450 will benefit from the UVD support in the imminent (due in approximately one week from now) 3.10 kernel. This will be available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ You will also need updated versions of libdrm, mesa and xserver-xorg-video-radeon, all of which can be found in the xorg-edgers PPA at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
All of the above package versions are expected to find their way into the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" which is currently scheduled for release on October 17th, 2013, as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961124 Title: Choppy video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/961124/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
