A new linuxsystems overlay: wine-nine

This overlay allows you to build latest git version of mesa and wine with the gallium nine patches. Wine has to translate DirectX => OpenGL => Gallium, which add complications and brings inefficiency. Thanks to the gallium nine state tracker we simply skip the OpenGL translation.

A new linuxsystems overlay: wine

Latest wine version is currently 1.7.26 while latest version available in gentoo repositories is only 1.7.21. This overlay allows you to build latest version of wine with pulseaudio, pipelight (compholio) and gstreamer support.

You can find my app-emulation/wine-1.7.26 ebuild in the new wine overlay: http://www.linuxsystems.it/overlay/

A new linuxsystems overlay: wine-d3dstream

This overlay allows you to build latest git version of wine with the D3D command stream patches which create a separate command stream / worker thread for WineD3D. This work moves OpenGL calls into a seperate thread in order to improve performance up to 50~100% and in some cases making the games under Wine faster […]

[Gentoo] Folding@Home v7: fahclient-7.1.52 ebuild available

Latest sci-biology/foldingathome ebuild in portage is 6.34-r2. Thanks to Bas Couwenberg who did the original sci-biology/fahclient-7.1.43 ebuild I made a new version for 7.1.52:  sci-biology/fahclient-7.1.52.ebuild

You can find both in my overlay.

[Gentoo] G45/GM45 h264 VA-API video decoding

On May 2011 Intel released G45/GM45 h264 VA-API in their g45-h264 branch. More then one year later they still didn’t merge it to master and no one touched that code in the meantime.

Fortunately if you tweak your system a bit that code is good enough to play a 1080p video with a generous bitrate, […]

media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20120116 with vaapi use flag

An mplayer ebuild which supports VA-API hardware acceleration isn’t something you can easily find. There is one in the calculate overlay but it’s quite ancient nowadays. This is why a made a new ebuild based on the latest git code from http://gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer.

You can find my media-video/mplayer ebuild with vaapi use flag in my overlay.
