with that graphics card, you need to be running the fglrx (ATI proprietary) graphics driver and have xvba-video installed, which I don’t package because I can’t test it and really can’t be bothered with it. Otherwise, libva won’t work.

I have installed mplayer-accelerated and all packages related to vaapi on my system but when I run “vainfo” I have the following error message

[root@bigmatteo matteo]# vainfo

Xlib: extension “XFree86-DRI” missing on display “:0.0″.
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0

libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

I’m on a Fedora13 64bit system with an ATI RADEON HD4550 video card…

On my config (Core i5 integrated video + Fedora 13 + RPMfusion libva-freeworld), mplayer-accelerated does not work with divx or xvid. Most h.264 videos work but a few do crash.

The console errors I get are:

divx
[vo_vaapi] vaPutImage(): operation failed

xvid
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: filter_video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.

h264
Too many buffered pts
Could not find matching colorspace – retrying with -vf scale…
Opening video filter: [scale]
The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.

I think you might need to update the repodata in your F13 repository for mplayer-accelerated… yum tries in vain to install an older libva than is available.

Hello, well done on the GMA 500 driver, works great! As I am new to fedora, I would like to know whether there is a way to add your video-experimental repo and install mplayer with vaapi support, or should I manually download the packages? Thank you!
