.. it really does not like legacy booting. I can only boot reliably with UEFI, otherwise it locks up.
Using a fresh install of Ubuntu MATE 18.04 but with 4.18RC2 from kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ (specifically kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.18-rc2/) is working fine for me and is indeed more reliable than previous versions. The glmark2 score with 18.0 MESA is 2773 (plus or minus one!)
I can install the MESA 18.2 drivers from launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa and get a glmark2 score of 2797, i.e. slightly faster..
.. but then it won't get to a graphical desktop when I next boot. I can Alt-F3 to a virtual terminal, uninstall them, and reboot. When I do that, it works.
Given the difference - on this benchmark anyway - is so small, I can live without the hassle of installing them and remembering to uninstall them before the next boot.
