Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

Is this compatible with Intel SNA (obtained from this ppa) and/or kernel 3.1?

I don't enable sna on intel but I think that using the intel driver from that PPA + other things on my PPA should be OK.

Is safe to purge this ppa? ppa-purge tries to remove a lot of packages due to the downgrade of these ones.

Can you list them?

I only wrote the above because the title says "Updated and Optimized". If you --enable-debug, at least remove the "optimized" part from the title.

I already replied to this, search in this thread.

?Do you accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

I've translated the remove dependencies strings (it was in Spanish).

Hi, i just updated to your ppa because i want to use software rendering with llvm.
I downgraded from xorg edgers and installed your packages on 11.10.

The system is still using the old software rasterizer. What am i doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental

then

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/(x86_64-linux-gnu or i386-linux-gnu)/dri-alternates yourappname

most likely. That's how you use it with xorg-edgers

It should indeed be installed in the default libgl1-mesa-dri package. Can you post the output of:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

I've translated the remove dependencies strings (it was in Spanish).

The problem is caused by aptitude. It doesn't yet really handle multiarch well and breaks down when touching packages that have multiple versions installed. Unfortunately it seems like ppa-purge uses aptitude and there's no configuration to change the behaviour.

i report a bug upstream

upstream developer recommend to test a fix (ait r600g). http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...er/016612.html

is it included in this ppa already?

[unknown2]

i submit bug report upstream and those developer tell me fix available

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2011-December/016612.html

How long will it take for this kind of patch to include in this ppa so that i can test for the developer?
