Does GLAMOR make any difference? I haven't tried it out yet.

You already use GLAMOR if on GCN hardware, there is no other choice there.

Oh yeah, I remember reading something like that on Arch's wiki a loong time ago, didn't even remember that.

[MrCooper]

I don't know, it's on my "i do it later" list (been there for a long time, i usually do write bug reports but this time the default EXA did work).

Just be aware that unreported bugs tend not to get fixed.

I did try glamor again and it's still there with mesa-11.2.2.

BTW, make sure you're using current glamor from xserver (module version 1.0.0 in the Xorg log file), not the old standalone glamor tree (0.6.0).

What is that true?
Maybe if i buy crystal balls to the developers.

compiled for 1.18.3, module version = 1.0.0

As long as they are big enough to let them read the patch that eventually fixes the bug they don't know about yet, that should work.

Just be aware that unreported bugs tend not to get fixed.

Unfortunately, sometimes reported bugs will not even get a response either.

Recently, some bug I reported about UVD on BARTS turned 1 year old without any activity from AMD.

[bridgman]

Yep, but reported bugs have a much better success record than unreported ones... although I admit that it's hard to get really high quality data on that
