Installing the VA Library

Note: Timesys Fedora Remix 14 and MeeGo 1.2 come with libva 1.0.12 pre-installed. For Timesys Fedora Remix 14 you must export the libva path using the first step below.

1. For Timesys Fedora Remix 14 only export the libva path:

su

echo 'export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers' >

/etc/profile.d/libva-path.sh

export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers

For Meego 1.2, skip this step.

2. Install the libX and libva development libraries:

zypper install libX\* mesa-libGLU-devel

wget http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/i586/libva-1.0.12-1.4.i586.rpm

wget http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/i586/libva-devel-1.0.12-1.4.i586.rpm

rpm --force -Uvh libva-1.0.12-1.4.i586.rpm

rpm --force -Uvh libva-devel-1.0.12-1.4.i586.rpm

3. Set your allocated video memory by editing the boot configuration file as follows:

— For MeeGo, edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf:

i. Find the line containing your boot kernel options. It will be similar to

append ro root=/dev/sda2 quiet vga=current

ii. To the end of this line, add

vmalloc=256MB

For example,

append ro root=/dev/sda2 quiet vga=current vmalloc=256MB

— For Timesys Fedora Remix 14, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf:

i. Find the line containing your boot kernel options. It will be similar to

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lvroot rhgb quiet

ii. To the end of this line, add

vmalloc=256MB

For example,

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lvroot rhgb quiet vmalloc=256MB

4. Reboot
