Radeon Gallium3D Now Sort Of Works For OpenCL

[Ibidem]

My impression was that we're talking about different levels of functionality -- Francisco was working on runtime but not using the full compiler stack (shaders were in TGSI IIRC), while Tom was working more on compiler and is running an top-to-bottom stack.

Take that with a grain of salt, but at first glance this milestone is a logical progression from the previous one. It's always tempting to view this as a competition between independent development efforts but I don't think that's actually the case.

Looking at it through the web page, I saw that he pulled from Francisco's tree.
So I sure wouldn't consider it fully independent efforts.
Most of the work seems to be in r600/llvm.

Thanks for the reply. I actually don't care much about OpenCL, but the way the article was written, something didn't sound quite right...

Now if only steam via wine would launch with the open drivers.

If you posted the error, people might be able to point out what you've misconfigured. Steam works though WINE just fine. Make sure you have 32 bit versions of everything.

I see your running kernel 3.3 did it work on 3.2 too? I'm not really sure, I have a reddwood too, prolly same model 5650...

It does, and it has been working for quite a few years now...

I think it did... Kernel shouldn't have that much influence on wine + mesa...

Not sure what your problem is...

I don't get it. AMD releases specs in the open, even pays one guy to do the work and still nouveau is the first to implement support? This doesn't quite add up.

Do not forget, he is a paid developer as well.
