Finally all the mesa build issues are fixed now. Updated mesa packages are building now.

As reported by someone there is a link problem with the classic drivers (r200 radeon i915 i965) so you may want to revert to mesa ubuntu packages if you use any of them. Hopefully it will be fixed in some way.

Fixed in the updated packages.

Mesa config

Hi,

Can you share what arguments you use for ./configure ? Thanks.

Why do people still use Ubuntu?

Hi,

Can you share what arguments you use for ./configure ? Thanks.

All the source are available in the PPA, see the PPA page for how to download them. The easiest way to see the configure arguments see the various build log, e.g. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/11465...UILDING.txt.gz

I have enabled again the LLVM compiler on r600. See here for more info:

I thought I posted before, but maybe it didn't go through?

After yesterday's updated, OpenGL stopped working, so Gnome-shell gave me a garbled screen of corruption(as did Gnome Classic with effects).

I seem to be affected by this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55217

Downgrading libgl1-mesa-dri to the official repository's version solved the problem, which is lucky because the other packages I tried to downgrade wanted to remove half my system.

Hopefully they get this figured out soon.

Last driver version is broken.

On last version of driver I'm getting nasty GPU lockups:

It locks up with the very same error all the time in certain situation (3d scene in game). Earlier version had no such issues. Message about GPU lockup repeats itself all the time - GPU recovery fails and no picture appears on display as the result. The only way to fix it is a reboot.

Any hints what "failed to get a new IB (-35)" means?

Any news about updating?

is it possible to use this updating on all of ubuntu distro previous 12.04

obliaf how can you update all the necessary dependencies?! and if the latest are curretly 8.04 version why you named them 8.1?! thanks for your patiance
