Install via source drivers
- Install: via-xserver-86a-50283_src.tgz
- OS: Ubuntu 8.10
- PC: HP2133 au version
- zd: 2d drivers only
- Date: 6/9/2009
Synopsis: Once installed, You can watch hardware scaled video. Something I was unable to do using the vesa drivers. Running two+ videos simultaneously still does not work. But overall desktop performance is much better than previous drivers or the vesa drivers. I am not sure of the current status of 3d integration....
Note: Some sections (installs) require root access (sudo)
Install required packages:
(Others would be better at determining exactly which packages are required)
- sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential automake1.9 libtool pkg-config xserver-xorg-dev libxvmc-dev x11proto-gl-dev libglu1-mesa-dev autoconf libdrm2 libdrm-dev mesa-common-dev gettext libxinerama-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev xutils-dev
Suggested packages: (Some removed)
- sudo apt-get install autoconf2.13 autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc automake1.9-doc libtool-doc gcj
Recommended packages: (Some removed)
- sudo apt-get install automake
Get the source ready
Download via-xserver-86a-50283_src.tgz from http://linux.via.com.tw/
Unpack the archive
- bunzip2 -c via-xserver-86a-50283_src.tgz | tar x
Ensure full directory path contains no spaces.
Compile the XServer drivers
Read the README and follow to compile & install
Compile the DRM kernel module
Read the README and follow to compile & install
Fix the vinst process
copy compiled files to ...XServer/Misc/bin for vinst_ubuntu
- copy the just compiled kernel module
DRM/H5DRM_Independent_2.6.27_28/via_chrome9.ko ---> ...XServer/Misc/bin copy the just compiled X driver
XServer/src/.libs/via_drv.so ---> ...XServer/Misc/bin Notes (3d section) We can't copy via_chrome9_dri.so (No 3d drivers) We can't copy libGL.so.1.2 (Sourced elsewhere)
Do the install
Run the vinst_ubuntu script
add/modify entries in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
Option "ActiveDevice" "LCD"
Fixup libGL.so.1
My libGL.so.1.2 seems to come from libgl1-mesa-glx, You may need to install this package. I had to add a link for libGL.so.1 to enable X11/Xv playback in mplayer.
- sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 sudo ldconfig
Hold your breath and reboot! (or restart X)
