Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[majod]

Forget my last post, it seems the drivers are suppose to show that. But still Steam reports no direct rendering. Played a game through Wine and it works fine. Even faster then binary.

I have the same problem ! Since the update about 2 days ago, I get the Steam error and can't run Steam games. If I purge PPA, everything works fine...now I see the mesa was updated in the PPA, but my apt-get upgrade doesn't provide any updates

Ubuntu 14.04: Steam says no direct rendering

Similar to the two posters above, on Ubuntu 14.04, steam is saying there is no direct rendering. Here is the relevant part of steam's output:

libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI3 capable

Please let me know if I can provide any other helpful information.

I didn't change anything packaging side in the last days, so it should be a mesa issue. Please open a bug on freedesktop.

The problem seems to extend over to Chromium/Firefox as well as Steam. The about:gpu shows the following. It seems to effect more then just Steam. Can anyone confirm?

I have the same problem as the other posters on OpenSUSE + Pontostroy repository, so we can rule out a packaging problem.
I also use Nouveau, so this is not only related to Radeon.

Error: OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.

But I can start a game and it does seems to be using hardware acceleration.
Probably the most annoying thing is that I also get a blinking/flickering cursor :<

Sorry for posting here while not using your PPA, I just wanted to confirm that it's not packaging/radeon related.

And Firefox?

For firefox you need to manually enable MOTC for OpenGl composting since version 28 even if the driver is working

Guys with the GCC error, that is Steam's fault.

Steam is shipping an older version of a lib than your Mesa was compiled against, and forcing it to be loaded. This obviously breaks.

Solution: remove Steam's version of that lib, use your system's version.

Can you explain how to do that?
