Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

thanks for the packages for precise.

whats the reason that the new xserver-xorg-video packages are hold back?

Time and motivation to work on something I don't use (I am still on natty).

uhm sorry, did i sound rude or something? wasnt meant that way. i was just curious if this was just some kind of bug on my system or if it was meant to be that way.

No problem, I pushed them now, so precise is completely supported now.

Hi oibaf,

is is possible to test this bug?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45880

"in mesa, src/gallium/winsys/radeon/drm/radeon_drm_winsys.c
change all assignments of r600_virtual_address to FALSE
ws->info.r600_virtual_address = FALSE;"

Version 8.1~git1202111943.c565ff~gd with that change is building now. Let me know what you get so that I can eventually revert it.

[questioneer]

i appreciate your efforts very much.

I have correctly installed both 64 and 32bit packages, 64bit version working, but 32bit not.

[questioneer]

the drivers wont work on precise anymore, cause they depend on the virtual package xorg-video-abi-11
but the xserver on xorg-edgers only provides xorg-video-abi-12 and 16

Hi oibaf.

the developer provide a fix now.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=356eb0aadbb977b0732da077ad31cd66d1b53e23

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45880

Can you rollback the virtual address workaround and merge the fix? thank you

Does reverting to official ubuntu packages work?
