    There is no magic in my packages and I am not very familiar with r600 driver. If R600_STREAMOUT is broken open a bug on freedesktop, for the OpenGL version it probably require some other thing to enable.

    • https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47281 is causing problems for me. The fix was supposed to be released on 2012-04-27, and there has been two releases of the ubuntu driver debs since then. But still, I'm getting the same errors.

      Before I go back to the bug saying that the fix doesn't work, is it really included in the latest driver packages?

      The versions on my machine are

      $ dpkg -l|grep radeon
      ii libdrm-radeon1 2.4.34+git1205110954.86451a~gd~p Userspace interface to radeon-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime
      ii xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.14.99+git1205111032.4b9bad~gd~p X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display driver

      • I always had problems to do with chrome's native client applications. Ultimatly most 3D objects in the game appeared all black. Now that I've updated mesa using your PPA those long time problems have stopped. Thanks oibaf!

          The linked bug is an xserver bug, for which I don't provide packages. You have to search (and eventually file a new one) bug for this in launchpad and follow there.

          • Hi oibaf,

            i915 and i915g both don't seem to work anymore. Instead i get llvmpipe and /usr/lib/dri-alternates doesn't exist anymore.

            glxinfo shows this:

            OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x301)
            OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.1-devel (git-c2f1fbf precise-oibaf-ppa)
            OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

            • @derdestiller: compiz on a 915GM is still working for me with the PPA. Not yet tried other programs, but glxgears was indeed stuttering when I last tried it.

                  This is what i get:

                  libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable
                  libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so
                  libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so
                  libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/reddevil/.drirc: No such file or directory.
                  I'm not sure, but as far as i can tell i didn't change anything relevant from my previous working configuration.

                  • Removing the PPA and adding it again solved my problem.

                    • Update

                      Mesa in the PPA now uses LLVM compiler for the r600 driver.
