For 14.04 I went here: https://github.com/visionect/c720p
But take care this involves building kernel modules.

The first kernel take will out of the box make the touchpad work as well as the...

I guess the instructions you followed are for the fitpc. This has a HDMI connected to the SDVO. Your laptop probable has the display connected to the LVDS port.

I have a fitpc myself so my...

Actually instructions have been published here (albeit for Linux Mint): http://www.fit-pc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=2991

Aha, that may well explain the problems with the new 1.14 driver mentioned above.

I am using the 1.10 driver from the ppa (this is I believe the experimental driver that works with xorg 1.10) with...

No, at one point I was playing 1080p but not with flashplayer as it doesn't support hw acceleration. mplayer-vaapi with videoreplacer (see the wiki) did the trick.

Currently mplayer-vaapi is not...

Can we please stop the EMGD vs PSB_GFX discussion.

Fact is that at this time if you need 2D and 3D there is no alternative unless you want to go way back and use Karmic with the psb driver.

You have my attention now. Which mplayer did you install?

I have troubles getting mplayer to work well with with vaapi on this resolution. My device is a Fitpc2 which has only a HDMI port that is...

Tista you are absolutely right.

I want to turn my FitPC into a low power multimedia box.
It could at the same time be used as a server (file, ldap, imap etc) but the main function with let's say...

It does!

My mistake.

Not with 1080p resolution and HD video.

I do what I can, but unfortunately that is not much. Certainly not like you do.

I know. I meant take the closed source 2d and...

I installed regular Oneric Kubuntu and then added the emgd110 ppa.

On MY resolution (1920x1080 on the HDMI port of my FitPC) emgd works nicely with kubuntu (even 3d effects when using...

TV is a Samsung. I have it working in 1920x1080 50Hz. I tried a few lower resolutions, some were not supported by the TV, others had no positive effect on the frame rate.

I found that xbmc vaapi...

Any chance you can connect an external display 1920x1080 to see if that works?

I have only an HDMI port and am not sure if my TV supports your resolution.

I am gonna try your kernel when I find a little time soon.

Just one question: you say 1080p works work but your best display resolution is 1366x768. Do you mean 1080p video are being scaled down...

Ah, mplayer is just from the emgd110 ppa. I had that one too.

My problem is that it will not play 1080p when using the options "-vo vaapi -va vaapi".

<edit>
So what command line do you use to...

I am really interested to know how you got mplayer-vaapi working.

What do you mean by ibva-106.so ? Which package do I download for this?

Currently I use the ubuntu oneric stock version...

Yes, I had that too. Scroll back #4906 for the solution.

Ferry

Actually vaapi does work. It is mplayer-vaapi that does not work. xbmc and vlc do work with vaapi.

The performance of xbmc and vlc is of course not as good as mplayer-vaapi had in the past.

I...

I did a fresh install with oneric (needed to as upgrading maverick crashed horribly, eventhough I purged all ppa stuff in advance), then added the emgd110 ppa bits . This was on a fitpc (TV screen...

[QUOTE=mattrope;11609476]The VA driver shouldn't be directly tied to Xorg version, but it is tied to libva version. I believe the EMGD 1.10 VA driver expects to be used with libva 1.0.12. If your...

Mattrope,

EMGD 1.10 (from our ppa) seems to be working nicely for KDE desktop effect using Opengl ES (albeit a little bit slow).

However vaapi video decode is not working with mplayer-vaapi....

Does anybody know what -va vaapii means here? I don't see -va as a command line option. I do see -vo vaapi though and -va is not generating errors.

Ferry

If I can stop 'mplayer -vo vaapi' choking on H264 (1080p with the ffmpeg decoder) video I'm all set.

Ferry

Thanks Pete, sound working now.
