Wilson, try without "--disable-mencoder" option.

Dear Intel Company,

The fact that you do not provide support and drivers for current Linux Kernel and Xorg server versions for your GPU makes you worse than NVidia. I think that Linus Torvalds choose wrong recipient for his middle finger. You would be more appropriate.

You welcome,
your former customer

I follow the doc from Intel:

http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/enabling_hardware_accelerated_playback_ubuntu_12.pdf

However, I can't compile mplayer with vaapi. (On section 4.5)

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-xv --enable-gl --enable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --disable-mencoder --disable-faad --enable-runtime-cpudetection

make

Errors

=====

ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.a(ituh263enc.o): In function `ff_clean_h263_qscales':

ituh263enc.c:(.text+0x2615): undefined reference to `ff_init_qscale_tab'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

Any clues?

Thanks,

Wilson

Meego why no problems with performance? However, this operating system nobody uses.
Why did you not do the same normal driver, but for the rest of the more popular Linux distributions?

Why are we, the users GMA 3600/3650, should be deprived? But at the same time for the rest of you are still doing the drivers?

Dear Intel guys.... im really really upset, because I trusted this company and recommended it for my friend who wanted a good linux netbook. After I bought it I found out that there is no Linux support and seeing Intels approach, there will never be one. No driver is even worse than buggy AMD graphic driver... so you know what Ill recommend next time. thank you for this really bad experience.

I sad. I dislike new linux-distro userspace. But old doesn't work with 3+ kernels.

What problem in compile this module in (still!) popular 2.6.32 linux kernel?

This thread is about 158 messages. I think much more peoples have problems and think bad about Intel and Imagination Technologies.

This problem makes me to take my samsung netbook back to shop, because working correctly MeeGo have many problems in usability, like in gnome3 / unity.

Hello Biggriffon,

Following your suggestion I enabled the aiglx option in the mentioned config file.

It vastly improved 3D performance, kudos! I did just a short test (about half an hour, ran glxgears, gnuplot, played shareware quake with the quakespasm, and extreme tuxracer.)

How/when does the instability appears for you? Do you experience overheating?

I've found that there is a certain error that prevents starting applications.

PVRDRIInitPVR2D: PVR2D device index(0)PVRDRIMakeCurrentGC: GLMakeCurrentGC failed(3)Video mode 800x600x32 initialized.

I assume it is related to switching resolutions. Quake fails to start five out of six times, but when it starts, it is playable and does not crash (it did core dump upon quitting though). Apart from that, things worked as before. Accelerated video playback works as before. Suspend and restore works.

Did some benchmarks, running quake timedemo demo1 in 1024x600 and got on average 45fps. CPU load was ca 50% (one core working full?).

Note that I use a non-pae kernel 3.2.0-36 (ubuntu 12.04) and gnome 2D, so 3D gui effects (compiz) is disabled. The hardware is an ASUS x101CH netbook.

Update:

I tested blender 2.62. it is a glitchfest with opengl enabled: surfaces do not appear correctly, they flip between black and textured as mouse moves over them, so most of the screen is black and only a small area is rendered.
