Driver work very well, well in circle of constraints provided by driver's developers :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

RPM would be so good. I was fully satisfied with driver+player combination od 10.2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338119#c9 --- Comment #9 from Als Mils 2007-11-18 05:03:30 MST --- I've successfully build viaarena's drivers for X on OS 10.3. This provides me with three benefits: 1) video playback with good performance, meaning not sluggish like with openchrome drivers or fbdev, both in totem-gstreamer and even better in mplayer (via enchanced version), 2) after laptop's resume console is still in good condition while it's broken with openchrome driver, and 3) overall better performance. But I had no success with 3D part of the driver (libGL.so.1.2 and *_dri.so), so there is no direct rendering, but system is stable. Of course, it was one hour job for me: 45 minutes to download driver source, other source dependencies like -devel packages and kernel-source, 5 minutes to correct install script with current kernel version of OS 10.3 and 10 minutes for compiling the driver. Now what is problem is that when kernel gets updated this compiling job has to be done once more. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338119#c11 --- Comment #11 from Als Mils 2007-11-20 05:53:11 MST --- I don't have technical experience/knowledge to work trough every detail. So far, I use: 1) via_drv.so xorg driver, drm.ko and via.ko kernel modules, all compiled from viaarena's source/patches. 2) 3d mesa library rpm from standard 10.3 repository 3) binary unichrome_dri.so from arena. This one is little tricky because this dri expect libselinux.so (else dr goes to indirect), so I had to put this file into '/lib'. I think it's not real dependency, just some kind of hard check point. 4) binary libddmpeg.so from arena, which is some library for HW accell functions of GPU chip. My system is now stable. My concern is about situation where kernel gets updated or xorg-x11-server gets updated, so I have to suddenly to invest hour of job to compile. Also, it's maybe possible that updated system produce some errors during compilation. For this one I would like to see connected rpms on suse repositories, like for openchrome or unichrome. Main reason for using binary unichrome_dri.so from via is because only that way my system remain stable - there are no freezes or locks, although for example I can not enjoy in f-spot slide show (application crash). I tried many combinations, like old 6.4.1 or newest 3d mesa library, but system could not remain stable. I guess bugs.freedesktop.org for this one. Maybe, like you wrote, best option is indirect. Reason for using 4) libddmpeg.so is because for last two years openchrome could not provide solution on VN800 dual-head for XvMC. Playing trough xshm is just too slow (unnatural - slow refreshing). So, for xorg.driver and XvMC I would be very happy to see Unichrome support. I guess DRM / AGP are part kernel? Anyway, the most important is that you recognize, understand and reason advance of unichrome driver. For me, on this, I found my way, although sloppy and insecure :) You have my vote for "adding VT3344 support to xf86-video-unichrome" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
