udv_fix.patch

Hardware: AMD E-350
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310]

1)    Kernel 3.9.0-rc7 + uvd v3 patches  (Gentoo self compiled)
2)    Libdrm-2.4.44
3)    Mesa master git:     e87015f5089a2c4a99e0288e1adeeabb5a7ca7e3
4)    Xorg-server-1.13.4
5)    ddx: xf86-video-ati git: 6e74aacc5e5da3b51744153dad1645caa6ea4ce3

I have been able to use UVD acceleration when it first appeared using mesa v2
of UVD code, but from the time it has been introduced in the mesa mainline with
v5 it does not work anymore. I believe it has to do with mesa not properly
detecting kernel support "[    1.638460] [drm] UVD initialized successfully."
and reverting to the vdpau support in shaders. Could it be that it requires
some kernel option I am missing?

As I have been trying to find exact reason I revered some changes that has been
introduced in mesa after v2 and it works again. I am not sure if all of those
are needed or which change in particular by itself would be enough but any way
it gets it working again so it is in there somewhere

You are probably using an old set of kernel patches.  There were several
revisions.  The mesa code checks to see if the kernel is new enough and the
latest kernel patch revision bumps the kernel driver version.  You can get
everything you need from my kernel tree:

That indeed just sounds like you're kernel is outdated.

The kernel interface changed while merging the patches and the patches in mesa
uses the end result in drm-next-3.10, so it is highly likely that you just have
a outdated kernel.

yes it in did seems like a coding frenzy took place in recent days ;). using
kernel 3.9.0-rc7 and applying around ~50 newest patches from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/log/?h=drm-next-3.10 tree (which was
way more then I originally found in the drm mailing list) did not require any
changes in mesa to make uvd work again
Thanks for great work!
