[solved] video acceleration of free Radeon driver does not work
I'm trying to get it working with "xf86-video-ati" on Radeon HD 6xxx. It works with "catalyst" and "mplayer-vaapi". I need KMS.
xf86-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1
libva 1.3.1-2
lib32-libvdpau 0.7-2
libvdpau 0.7-1
mplayer 37224-1
ati-dri 10.2.2-1
lib32-ati-dri 10.2.2-1
lib32-mesa 10.2.2-1
lib32-mesa-libgl 10.2.2-1
mesa 10.2.2-1
mesa-libgl 10.2.2-1
CPU load is several times higher than with "catalyst" and video playback is slow, slower than audio playback.
MPlayer says this:
VO: [vdpau] 1920x1080 => 1920x1080 Planar YV12 [fs]
MPlayer configuration:
$ cat /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
cache=4096
cache-min=40
subcp=utf-8
subwidth=80
subfont-blur=8
ffactor=10
subfont-text-scale=2.4
"vdpauinfo" output:

Re: [solved] video acceleration of free Radeon driver does not work
I don't think there is an implementation for ATI with mplayer. Intel and Nvidia, yes, but ATI/AMD no. Not that I know of.
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

Re: [solved] video acceleration of free Radeon driver does not work
The open source radeon implementation of vdpau works pretty well for VC-1, MPEG1,2 and h264 with my HD5470 (r600 driver). My WMV3 testfile crashes, and my testvideo for VC-1 is too short to detect synchonization issues with the sound.

Now that you've mentioned codecs, I gave MPlayer an option with a codec "-vc ffvc1vdpau", then video acceleration is on, CPU load is even less than with "catalyst"! And this is how MPlayer output should look:
VO: [vdpau] 1920x1080 => 1920x1080 VC1 VDPAU acceleration [fs]
Selected video codec: [ffvc1vdpau] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg WVC1 (VDPAU))
not this:
Selected video codec: [ffvc1] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg WVC1)
VO: [vdpau] 1920x1080 => 1920x1080 Planar YV12 [fs]
It's bad that MPlayer does not select the best video codec automatically.

I guess mplayer doesn't select it automatically in order to avoid potentially garbled playback. You'll have to enable vdpau in the configuration file, e.g.
# ~/.mplayer/config
# If the list has a trailing ',' MPlayer will fall back on drivers not contained in the list.
