it seems to improve now:
when triggering the expos?-like feature (vortex animation is selected) for a short second I can see the background - then the screen turns black
also switching desktops via ctrl + alt + arrow (left, right, up, down) also leads to a black screen - when the animation has ended the desktop is viewable again
when zooming in (using the "zoom" feature) the mouse-cursor is still viewable - not sure if it was there before
definitely things seem to be improving
thanks devs !
in the past when I first wanted to try out llvm upon launch of X (lightdm) the screen was totally black - so there's been lots of progress

Radeon LLVM GPU Back-End Stripped From Mesa

Typical case of mild form of idocracy ;-) At least MESA should have left the code within their codebase as long as LLVM hasn't the backend officially ...

Originally posted by Veerappan View PostAnd a good thing this is. If this had not happened, we'd have 3 different R600 LLVM back-ends to choose from when writing code. Mesa's R600 back-end, Tom's LLVM tree, or the upstream LLVM repository. Any fixes/improvements would have to be synchronized between all 3 repositories.
Now we're down to 2 repositories, and I believe that Tom has committed to handling the upstreaming of fixes based on his tree to the upstream LLVM project.
but there's 2 (or some more - haven't tested more than that) main issues I'm facing with it when for my daily work:
I'm running compiz 0.8* (0.9* is unstable for me and it's also not as fast & stable as 0.8* - at least for me)
- the expos?-like feature leads to a black screen
- likewise with the zoom feature
if anyone of the devs is reading here along - could you try to reproduce and see if there's a fix for that ?
(I'm using llvm from Tom's repo via FireBurn overlay with Gentoo)
afaik at the beginning when I started testing it some videoplayback (via smplayer) or even flash (in chromium) also didn't work -> black content
thanks !
