Yup, xorg-edgers ppa for lucid, there are some ati chipsets supported. Look at <br><br><a href="http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon">http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon</a><br><br>If you are running lucid adding the x-org edgers ppa and ppa-kernel will do the trick (xorg1.8 requires newer kernel than is in lucid for KMS switching extensions not present in 2.6.32)<br>
<br>I was supprised how well gallium works (version 0.4 builds in repo) on nvidia as all the signs are it's broken. <br><br>The xvmc extensions for cetain gpu offloading on my nvs110 (nv46 chip) work well. Unfortunatley this is the last chip that didn't have vdpau extensions... and I remember reading something about purevideo extensions with nouveau from a few months back, that hinted at it not working.<br>
<br>Not idea for ati tho., and my only purevideo compliant chipset I am running stable + proprietry x drivers.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 18 June 2010 11:18, Kenneth Dixon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kenneth.b.dixon@gmail.com">kenneth.b.dixon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Tell me more, is this the generic video acceleration originally worked<br>
on a few years back: <a href="http://www.bitblit.org/gsoc/g3dvl/index.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.bitblit.org/gsoc/g3dvl/index.shtml</a><br>
If so, works well? Do you know if the ati driver is supported?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
