Phoronix: A TODO List For Intel's Linux Vulkan Driver

There is finally a public TODO list for Intel's Vulkan Linux driver living within Mesa...

It's like as if Intel is some dog arse outback remote IT company struggling. This is not acceptable for the top or leading manufacturer of CPU's and high revenue.

Even though Valkun is a fairly new protocol it's still unacceptable, especially consider Intel's slack works on OpenGL4 support and other poor coding issues for Linux graphics drivers.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the LunarG driver could run Dota 2 and the Intel driver could not?

what processor families are supported?

Are those different drivers?

[CrystalGamma]

Are those different drivers?

As far as I know, they are … but I heard the LunarG driver was not updated with changes before the Vulkan release.

Are those different drivers?

Yes they are.

But why would they develop so long a driver, which wouldn't be used in production? Why wouldn't Intel use that code? What am I missing?

As Intel has problem with Vulkan, I thought LunarG failed, but now I see it's that the drivers are different. I am so confused…

Can somebody explain what Intel's Vulkan driver is doing in Mesa (which is, at least according to Wikipedia, supposed to be an open source OpenGL implementation)? Also, what code is there to share (with possible other Vulkan implementations) that would make it useful to be part of Mesa?

They forgot "proper Haswell support".
This driver still doesn't work on Haswell-GPUs
