Hello, I'm kind of lost after all the searching and trying the different "solutions". The situation: I have a motherboard with the Via Unichrome Integrated Graphics which should support hardware mpeg2 decoding, a feature I really need on this box. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 Release with xorg 6.8.2 from ports. For the past two day's I've tried a number of possible solutions to get it to work, I do get X to work, but not with hw-mpeg-acceleration. Among the things I've tried: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=freebsd-mobile&a=2005-03&m=754535 The error I'm getting at this point is : [drm] failed to load kernel module "via" (EE) VIA(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI Apparently Unichrome doesn't support hw-mpeg-decoding anymore, on the other hand I don't have a clue on how to use the Openchrome alternative. For the record, I only need hw-mpeg-decoding in combination with mplayer, so if there's a solution that doesn't need X at all it would be even better. Can anyone give me some pointers to get hardware mpeg decoding to run in conjunction with mplayer? Whether it is via the kernel module, or any other option, I just need it to work. Thanks in advance, Vincent The
