Hi everyone!

i have the problem that libva is not working properly.
on playing a 1080p movie i get the following error messages

Code: Select all

...

Do you have the fglrx_drv_video.so ?

[voodoosound]

no i havent.
apt-get install xvba-va-driver sais:

xvba-va-driver : depends on: fglrx-driver (>= 1:10-9) is not installable

using ubuntu 11.04/ 2.6.38 / gnome 2.32 / GPU Radeon 4300/4500 / AMD Driver 8.84.6

how can i do this?

It's a bug you cannot install it until you get a new driver.
You can receive it from the x-swat team. It is working on my HP625 notebook with ATI 4200.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

How to get the driver from the AMD website... ...see http://www.dickmcjohnnson.wordpress.com
