      You can always add oibaf then change oibaf from saucy to raring to get oibaf in saucy.

      sudo add-apt-repository -y ppaibaf/graphics-drivers; sudo sed -i 's/saucy/raring/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf*; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

        Will that be compatible* with Oibaf proper ppa for Saucy when its online at last?
        -> sudo apt-get update will just work, or ppa-purge will be needed?

        • You just change oibaf to Saucy the same way it was changed to Raring when it is available for Saucy. Honestly, there's no difference between the packages.

          sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf*; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

            If it helps, przemoli, I've already done this to install the Raring Mesa packages (the video-* packages didn't install, for some reason, but that doesn't seem to matter).

            It makes a HUGE difference when playing Portal and Portal 2 (through wine) to the point where I can put all the graphics options up to high and it's still playable on my A8-3850, admittedly only at 1650x1050 resolution. Everything was much slower with Mesa 9.2. I assume the difference is the SB backend being on by default in Mesa 10 but there are a lot of other things that all help.

              Try running sudo aptitude upgrade -y; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade to get the rest of those to install. They won't install with apt-get apparently.

                OIBAF raring driver depend of "xorg-video-abi-13"..
                They are not in raring.

                  xorg-video-abi-13 doesn't exist. You are referring to xserver-xorg-core which is inside oibaf repos.

                    when you force the intel or radeon drivers from raring inside saucy he display a dependency error with the virtual package "xorg-video-abi-13"..

                    You need to break the dependencies for this.

                      Odd, I'm receiving the same errors on one of my machines. So this method seems broken now until oibaf creates a Saucy repo. xorg-video-abi-13 is actually supposed to be xserver-xorg-core though, since xorg-video-abi-13 also doesn't exist in Ubuntu 13.04, though it lives as a virtual package that points to xserver-xorg-core.
