[packman] AMD Radeon 600 series, Leap 15.4, VLC DVD player

[Steven Swart]

Good day, Masaru, Packmans!

Thank you for your response, Masaru.

To address several of your concerns.

rpmbuild seems to delete several build targets, .a files, .so files, and
rpms, when you rerun the build. But it doesn't delete the .o files. When I
rebuilt it, it didn't recompile them, it just checked them.

Then it ran through the linking phase and the rpm generation phase again.

I kicked off a rebuild after I sent my last message, and it only took about
45 minutes to rebuild the rpms. I now have all the rpms built.

I had to install quite a lot of dependencies before I could start the
build. I made notes and I think I have most of them documented.

My Xorg process seems to use both the libvdpau_radeonsi and the
libvdpau_r600 drivers.

I am busy waiting for 1300 odd updates to install now, then I will try to
install the rpms.

I am not sure when I will be able to write up that HOWTO, I have a busy day
ahead of me tomorrow, but I will try to get to it ASAP.

Will post the vdpauinfo result as soon as I have tested the new drivers.

Kind regards,
Steven.
