Hello there
I'm trying to run dota 2 on my ancient pc which has an old Pentium dual core + 2gb ram + 4670hd gpu
Been following this thread for a while
So from what I understand, to get dota 2 working in my card, with gallium nine, I need
Oibaf ppa
And sarnex patched wine
My doubts are with dri3 and llvm and also glamour
Will the game have any perforMance improvements if I use dri3 patched ppa from sarnex, is it use full?
As explained in the previous posts llvm is use full in newer gvn cards, so that seemingly leaves mine out, but I would like to know whether getting it would improve my fps (by opting for the padoka ppa) in ways that I might not know about
Lastly regarding glamour and exa, I suppose exa would be enabled by default, will switching it to glamour help
I have been searching a lot to get the maximum performance out of this card but the information out there is rather sparse
So if any one has any points to help me out, that will be incredibly useful (I know the card is pretty old, but I'm just curious to know how far I can go with these limited specs)
I'm using zorin os which is Ubuntu based but I'm gonna change it to xubuntu once I finish downloading (very slow Internet)

No acceleration on Kaveri A8-7100
Hello,
I'm using Kubuntu 15.04 (beta) and added the oibaf PPA but can't enable acceleration. I think the Radeon driver doesn't detect the APU video.
Any ideas how to fix this? This is my Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10570880/
Cheers!

OpenGL 3.3 on Sandybridge?
According to this article, complete OpenGL 3.3 support landed in Mesa with geometry shaders way back in September 2014. However, using your latest packages it still advertises 3.0. There's an OpenGL application (non-native to Linux) that's partially working, and I suspect it requires 3.3 because it's native platform advertises minimum OpenGL compatibility of 3.3.
Code:Driver: Intel Open Source Technology Center Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2 Driver Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.6.0-devel (git-51b43c5 2015-03-09 utopic-oibaf-ppa) OpenGL Version: 3.0

Whether you're using Arch or not, a lot of it still applies, and they're very thorough in their documentation.
Glamor is a 2D acceleration method implemented through OpenGL, and it should work with graphic cards whose drivers are newer or equal to R300.
Code:sudo apt-get install mesa-utils glxinfo | grep OpenGL
