SS>   Good day, Masaru, and Packmans!

SS>  Just a quick update. These power outages are challenging, and they have
SS>  been bad lately.

SS>  For my Tumbleweed machine, this is the video card info:

SS>  There are two ways to install the Mesa drivers on Tumbleweed, the first is

SS>  repo, as follows:

SS>  sudo zypper in opi
SS>  sudo opi codecs

SS>  This was the output of vdpauinfo, regardless of which way I used:

Do not install xvidcore and x265 files, Mesa built, didn't you?

SS>  So, presumably, I managed to perform the build properly, and these are the
SS>  limits of my ATI card.

No, your build is incomplete.

SS>  Installing from the packman repo is the quickest and easiest
SS>  option, and the way I recommend for anyone running Tumbleweed.

Are you saying that Packman's is free of license restrictions?

Regards.
