Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[dhewg]

I dropped xenial packages to free some space, the PPA was full. You may want to use this as an alternative:

Thanks. but I'm not seeing any mesa packages related to that. What's now in xenial even conflicts between :i386 and :amd64 (which didn't with your packages). Is there an archive of your packages anywhere?

I think there is an archive here: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archiv...ld_state=built
Also Ubuntu provides this newer mesa: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial-updates/mesa

Thanks, but that's the version of mesa that's already used on travis. With those, libegl1-mesa-dev:i386 cannot be installed, because it depends on libxkbcommon-dev:i386 which conflicts with libxkbcommon-dev...

I just used *cough* some force to work around it for now though... https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-st...4d762f2d93932e

It turns out that despite being in the Mesa sourcecode, the R200 driver is not a "valid" option with Meson, which is the cause of the RV200 not using radeon, as the driver simply isn't there (I had tried compiling Mesa on Solus).
I had already posted a bug report about this.

I didn't know the PPA was also used for this. Unfortunately I won't be able to reupload xenial packages. Nice that you found a workaround anyway.

I'm getting this when I try to update. Why is that?

The following packages have been kept back:
libegl-mesa0 libegl-mesa0:i386 libgbm1 libgbm1:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa:i386 libglapi-mesa libglx-mesa0
libglx-mesa0:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

If you are on disco, the build is broken here, ATM.

Thanks, I already see it working again.

[oibaf]

Can you elaborate?

[ernstp]

mesa builds for disco still look broken:
sbuild-build-depends-mesa-dummy : Depends: libva-dev (>= 1.6.0) but it is not going to be installed
