Bug Description

Hi, i'm testing the new driver Catalyst from ubuntu proposed repo:

$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates-core fglrx-updates-dev

hs1974g@unity7:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.4.13374 Compatibility Profile Context 15.20.1013

when i checked Hardware Video Decode Acceleration using VA-API :

hs1974g@unity7:~$ vainfo

libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

The link is missing to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so.

The correct link is:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXvBAW.so.1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so

after i run ..

hs1974g@unity7:~$ vainfo

libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so

Can confirm. Setting the link manually fixes it.

Setting the link fixes vainfo "physically", but not logically. There is a version mismatch for libva shipping with Vivid (1.5.x / API 0.37.0) and AMD's driver (1,3.x / API 0.33.0). Unicorn has version 1.3, so AMD's driver works with that version both logically and physically only.

I am not totally sure how version mismatches affect libva, but videolan seems to ignore the hardware accelerated driver, despite finding it.

Addendum: seems to be specific to videolan, mplayer looks better. I am not really sure the hardware is used, not a true expert on all of this, just reporting to help the real experts :;)
