Using what I got from Robert Hooker ... Here are the full instructions of getting Ubuntu 12.04.2 working with 3.2.0-38 kernel. I have added instructions for getting mplayer working in HW accelerated mode. I am not happy with the performance right now, but it works.
Download 12.04.2 from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso You should be able to install this to a USB stick Boot stick At the main screen, select “Install” BUT you will need to hit the “tab” key to adjust the load. Remove splash – Add video=LVDS-1:d Install image Reboot Get into image >From terminal window install ssh server sudo apt-get install openssh-server ( you may need this this ) Add the following to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vmalloc=256MB video=LVDS-1:d" sudo update-grub sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic-pae NOTE: you can use the above kernel or linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic both will work. Run the software update. sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-precise Reboot, you will have a new kernel 3.2.0-38-generic-pae Select the 3.2.0-38 kernel through grub to boot To list all kernels installed, type the following: dpkg –list | grep linux-image Let’s get rid of all the kernels we are not using sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.5.0- (whatever the rest is) Now do the rest minus the 3.2.0-38 version you are using. Notes: So the above install changes the Ubuntu software stack from quantal (12.04.2) to precise (12.04.1) Now the following MUST BE DONE from either a terminal window or an ssh session If you try to install the driver through the graphical interface it will go to a black screen and never come back. Through the system is still alive. You can ssh in and remove cedarview-drm. >From a tty window or ssh session sudo apt-get install cedarview-drm cedarview-graphics-drivers libva- cedarview-vaapi-driver Sudo update-grub sudo apt-get install libva-glx1 libva-tpi1 vainfo libva-dev sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev binutils-gold sudo apt-get install libXi-dev libXfont-dev libXext-dev sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev sudo apt-get install libpciaccess-dev sudo apt-get install libXfixes-dev libXv-dev libXpm-dev sudo apt-get install libX11-dev libXres-dev libXrender-dev libdmx-dev sudo apt-get install libxkbfile-dev libXinerama-dev libXdamage-dev sudo apt-get install libXxf86vm-dev mesa-utils sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf reboot Compile mplayer on target 1. Install yasm and git: sudo apt-get install yasm git 2. Install some alsa dependencies: sudo apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-dev 3. Clone MPlayer git repository: git clone git://gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer.git If the command executes successfully, then the MPlayer tree is downloaded in the target under the mplayer directory. 4. Configure MPlayer: cd mplayer git checkout -t origin/hwaccel-vaapi ./configure At the No FFmpeg checkout prompt, press Enter. cd ffmpeg git checkout -b n0.11.2 [you can use the latest version tag] 5. Go back to the MPlayer directory: cd .. 6. Now we are in the MPlayer directory. Configure MPlayer with options as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-xv --enable-gl --enable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --disable-faad --enable-runtime-cpu-detection 7. Compile MPlayer: make make install Now you will be able to run video mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi -ao alsa <example_video_clip>.mp4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132584 Title: cedarview-drm kernel module fails to build on kernel 3.5.x [error: implicit declaration of function 'do_mmap'] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cedarview-drm-drivers/+bug/1132584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
