So today I wanted to see how the vmwgfx graphics stuff was doing. Naturally I compiled libdrm with the --enable-vmwgfx-experimental-api and mesa with the svga state tracker.
Unfortunately with the stable xf86-video-vmwgfx only the fallback on the vmwgfx legacy driver works and that doesn't have any 3d...
So I tried to compile xf86-video-vmwgfx-git...
First thing I noticed that I need to do this:
This code with the missing dot was commited on Jun 16... Has nobody compiled that driver with the X.org state tracker since June??
But this would be too easy to fix, the makefile also needs to be broken!
So my question: Is vmwgfx to be supposed to be actually kind of usable or is this quest ultimatively useless at this time?
