Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[marek]

There was a regression in Mesa master. It's been fixed already. I guess you have to wait for the next oibaf PPA update.

I just wanted to say that AMD will have a huge advantage on Linux if Nine succeeds. So work faster on your open drivers for new GPUs and someone merge Nine already.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04, i installed this PPA, now my system have no unity bar.

Switching tabs not working (alt+tab), once a screen go background, getting back to it is vvery difficult, now now i made chrome always on top.

When i try reverting to default open source driver, i get error

boby@fwhlin:~$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
[sudo] password for boby: 
Updating packages lists
PPA to be removed: oibaf graphics-drivers
Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: oibaf graphics-drivers
boby@fwhlin:~$

What should i do ? sos ...---...

I read at Ubuntu Forums that you switched to Catalyst in meantime... anyway this issue was fixed in the PPA in the 12 hours ago build.

Also, the PPA can be reverted only if it's still enabled. When you disable it ppa-purge cannot revert the packages.

@oibaf Thanks for the reply. First time using ppa-purge, i re-added the repo and done ppa-purge it worked properly. I learned many new stuff by trying this PPA, i will try again after taking some rest

Hi again everyone.

I created a PPA that is simply oibaf's PPA + Gallium Nine. It is scheduled to automatically update twice a day.

Google Earth has caught signal 11.

It was working with mesa 10.3 before. The gpu is intel ironlake. OS is Ubuntu 14.04 (purging the ppa and it works again with stock Ubuntu driver) Anyone has similar problem?

[kmod]

Today's update fixed it.

There is currently an issue with 32bit apps suffering some big slow downs:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83436#add_comment

I have no idea how this works, but judging by the comments it has something to do with compiler and fix is up to those maintaining builds (correct me if I'm wrong). If you could take a look at this Oibaf, that'd be awesome

Yeah -mtune=generic works slow recently for some 32bit usecases on radeon, so at least -mtune=pentiumpro seems to be needed to bring back the speed.
