    ppa

    Now that mesa 9.1 is finally in raring, it is not necessary to compile mesa, even if 9.2 is probably better for radeonsi.
    --enable-gbm was probably never needed, as it is already enabled by dependencies.

    That leaves installing glamor, recompiling xserver-xorg-video-ati with glamor, and configuring xorg.conf

    I have made a stab at packaging this at https://launchpad.net/~cybjit/+archive/ppa-glamor/.
    After installing xserver-xorg-video-glamor and upgrading xserver-xorg-video-radeon, only configuring xorg.conf should be needed.

      ppa

      Seems my previous post did not go trough.

      Anyway, I have made a ppa (ppa:cybjit/ppa-glamor) with glamor packaged, and a glamor enabled xserver-xorg-video-ati. Works with stock raring mesa 9.1.

      I cherry picked some patches from xf86-video-ati git, so configuring xorg.conf should not be necessary on SI hardware.

        Thanks for packaging glamor! Works great on raring, without messing up the system too much.
        BTW, I tested compiled packages from sources at your ppa on Quantal (+mesa from xorg-edgers) and it also worked great. Thanks indeed!
        You should consider talking to xorg-edgers people about integrating glamor...

          You are welcome, I hope the packages does not mess up the system at all.
          I might look into getting the ppa to rebuild for other releases, but I have not way of checking if they work there.
          I will probably iterate a bit more before trying to send it on.

          I also uploaded xserver-xorg-video-intel compiled against glamor, mostly to check that it works.
          SNA is still default, xorg.conf needs to be configured for glamor to be enabled.
          Code:
          Section "Module"
              Load "dri2"
              Load "glamoregl" 
          EndSection
          
          Section "Device"
              Identifier "intel"
              Driver "intel"
              Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" 
          EndSection

            Now, does this not support Steam games? I tried playing games on Steam with this but I kept getting errors about install S3TC texture support (On Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit with this Radeon HD 7950).

              tested working on both Ubuntu 12.10 & 13.04. This can be easily made into install script,
              feel free to do it at your own convenience.

              First, we need to temporarily enable xorg-edgers repo, just to retrieve the sources & some dev tools and libs
              Code:
              sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git xutils-dev xorg-dev
              mkdir radeonsi
              cd radeonsi
              sudo add-apt-repository -y -s ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
              sudo apt-get update
              apt-get source mesa
              apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-ati
              sudo apt-get -y build-dep mesa
              sudo apt-get -y install mesa-utils
              sudo add-apt-repository -r -y ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
              sudo apt-get update
              Next, we compile mesa, with gbm support enabled (this will take some time)
              Code:
              JOBS=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ^processor | tail -n1 | awk '{ print $3 }')
              ARCH=$([ "$(uname -m)" != "x86_64" ] && echo "i386" || echo "amd64")
              MESAREVISION=$(ls -d mesa*/ | grep -o "9.[0-9].[0-9]~git[a-z0-9.+]*")
              MESAPPAREVISION=$(ls mesa_$MESAREVISION*.dsc | grep -o "\-[0-9]ubuntu[0-9][a-z]*[~_a-z3864]*")
              MESAPKGSUFFIX=${MESAREVISION}${MESAPPAREVISION}_${ARCH}.deb
              ATIDRVREVISION=$(ls -d xserver-xorg-video-ati*/ | grep -o "[\.0-9]*+git[a-z0-9.]*")
              ATIDRVPPAREVISION=$(ls xserver-xorg-video-ati_$ATIDRVREVISION*.dsc | grep -o "\-[0-9]ubuntu[0-9][a-z]*[~_a-z3864]*")
              ATIDRVPKGSUFFIX=${ATIDRVREVISION}${ATIDRVPPAREVISION}_${ARCH}.deb
              cd mesa-$MESAREVISION
              sed -i 's|../../configure --prefix=/usr|../../configure --enable-gbm --prefix=/usr|' debian/rules
              time dpkg-buildpackage -b -j$JOBS
              cd ..
              Next, assuming the mesa compilation was successful, we install mesa packages
              Code:
              sudo dpkg -i libegl1-mesa_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libegl1-mesa-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libegl1-mesa-drivers_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libgbm1_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libgbm-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libgl1-mesa-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libgl1-mesa-dri_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libgl1-mesa-glx_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libglapi-mesa_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libgles1-mesa_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libgles1-mesa-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libgles2-mesa_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libgles2-mesa-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           mesa-common-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libosmesa6_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libosmesa6-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libxatracker1_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libxatracker-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX libopenvg1-mesa_$MESAPKGSUFFIX \
                           libopenvg1-mesa-dev_$MESAPKGSUFFIX
              Next, time to compile and install glamor. Unfortunately, this will not be packaged into a deb, manuall install is nedeed
              Code:
              git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/glamor
              cd glamor
              ./autogen.sh --enable-glx-tls --prefix=/usr
              make -j$JOBS
              sudo make install
              cd ..
              Almost there, time to compile and install ati/radeon driver for X
              Code:
              sudo apt-get -y build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati
              cd xserver-xorg-video-ati-$ATIDRVREVISION
              sed -i 's|\(XXV=xserver-xorg-video\)|\1\n\noverride_dh_auto_configure:\n\tdh_auto_configure -- --enable-glamor|' debian/rules
              sed -i 's|dh_shlibdeps -- --warnings=6|dh_shlibdeps --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=--ignore-missing-info|' debian/rules
              time dpkg-buildpackage -b -j$JOBS
              cd ..
              sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_$ATIDRVPKGSUFFIX xserver-xorg-video-radeon_$ATIDRVPKGSUFFIX

              Finally, all left to be done is a manual change of xorg.conf
              Code:
              [ -f /etc/xorg.conf ] && sudo cp /etc/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf.BACKUP.$(date -Iseconds)
              TAB="$(printf '\t')"
              sudo bash -c "cat > /etc/xorg.conf" << EOF
              Section "Module"
              ${TAB}Load "dri2"
              ${TAB}Load "glamoregl"
              EndSection
              
              Section "Device"
              ${TAB}Identifier "ati"
              ${TAB}Driver "ati"
              ${TAB}Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
              EndSection
              EOF
              Now, if only somebody with the proper authority can convince xorg-edgers into adding --enable-gbm switch into mesa, this would be way more easier to do...
              BTW, anyone heard of glamor deb package?
              I get an error about

              configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm >= 2.4.46) were not met:

              Requested 'libdrm >= 2.4.46' but version of libdrm is 2.4.43

              then completely fails.

                Okay, don't compile that above. It will really break your system. I guess I'm stuck with Mesa 9.1 lacking S3TC texture support.

                  You need to compile s3tc library from here http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mareko/libtxc_dxtn/ and then compile mesa also with --enable-texture-float

                    Compiling and installing a custom version of mesa breaks the system, so no can do.

                      Can anyone make a better guide on installing the latest mesa with glamor AND s3tc support now that kernel 3.11-rc1 is out and runs well? I don't know too much about compiling some of the more complicated stuff nor feel too comfortable about messing around with trying to do it.
