Interested In FreeSync With The RADV Vulkan Driver? Testing Help Is Needed

clapbr I'll try to contact Bas and see if he's open to it.

leonmaxx how confident are you that this laptop will run Fedora 29 flawlessly?

I'm also looking for a laptop that work out of the box with Linux (I tried System but I had hardware quality issues )

Could we all get together on gofundme.com and pay Bas a FreeSync monitor of his choice?

I hope Michael announces it here. I would drop 50€ or so.

Some Patreon can also be a good idea.

He, he

FWIW, no FreeSync capable monitor is needed for testing this patch. All that's needed is verifying that starting an app hits amdgpu_vrr_property_update with the variable_refresh parameter set to TRUE in Xorg. In that case, VRR can be enabled while the app's window uses page flipping.

BTW, W9S also have FreeSync enabled:

Two tested it, so that is probably enough

The chances are pretty good, actually. Assuming CPU issues can be dealt with via a BIOS update, the only other problems seem to be wireless and the webcam. I tracked down the wireless to RTL8821AE which definitely has a driver in the latest F28 kernel, but didn't find anything about the webcam (although there's a decent chance it's just UVC).

Just tested Grim Dawn 64bits with /d3d9 and latest nine standalone, working fine.

Cool

BTW, for radv they are confirming it working now with v2 strlen instead of sizeof... so that is probably it, working everywhere
