No announcement yet.
When can we expect FREESYNC in open source driver?

Btw i should clarify guys that what i am saying is i hole they make GUI CLIENT for amd driver. Aka it can be installed via distro specific package manager with 1 click and once installed u see driver with ability to overclock video card.
I was not saying we need a gui installer. But if we dont have one then the install as a package has to wor with no complications.

Understood. Auksinis has only talked about a control-panel-type GUI. We are implementing the driver-level functionality required to support such a GUI now, and once that is done will see whether there has been any progress on vendor-independent control panels integrated with each DE or whether we need to look at vendor-specific GUI.
Dungeon, I don't see how you can say "i didn't even mentioned before" - you had a half dozen posts before my comment talking about "clicking here to install" and similar GUI-install comments.
It just seems to me that a better use of time would be understanding why most of the people you get input from apparently do want a GUI installer while most of the people I get input from (in theory the same people) want to use existing distro mechanisms, whether they have a GUI or not.Test signature

People will continue to joke really, as even that RPi has more GUIs to control hardware than AMD on LinuxLast edited by dungeon; 10 January 2017, 11:43 PM.

Originally posted by dungeon View PostI said what is *generally* easier so from convenience standpoint for majority, preferably clickable easy solutions instead of compiling, debugging, being on bugzilla most of the time, etc... i didn't talked about GUI installer before you mentioned it. Only after you mentined it, i tried to note that even that can be put into consideration. Basically no one stops you to design things the way you want, regardless what few or most people wants.
Originally posted by dungeon View PostSo, you just said we won't do it and i can't possibly understand how you can be blind that much Don't mind and just do it vendor specific, because i don't think RPi's GPU would catch up to Vega in next couple decades... and who cares really now, when you are breaking things couple times in one decade

Originally posted by bridgman View PostSure, but we have considered performant GL 4.5 drivers as higher priority than a GUI - do you think that was the wrong choice ?
Um, no, I just said we are working on it but the driver support has to come first. I don't see how you can interpret my words as "won't do it".Last edited by dungeon; 11 January 2017, 04:39 AM.

I would suggest you people check your calendar. We live in the year 2017. the 21st CENTURY.

Why should anybody change everything because of one single driver? OP said he don't have knowledge nor time to do that, but we continue to feed him with our informations.
I dunno really what we discuss here, how it goes duby229 will also say to Linus Torvalds to go to Windows as he also complain when something is inconvenient
Even RMS itself talk more about inconvenience than about free software, if you listen him right and can read between lines Both blob and opensource software can produce inconvenience, there is no difference thereLast edited by dungeon; 11 January 2017, 02:16 AM.
