Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

hey,

my card is i5 3230, intel hd 4000
ubuntu 13.04

after a lot of test, with all i could find with google, I found your page, waited for 13.04 support.
And I'm sad to say, for what i need it's not working, I might be missing something, but for now I can't launch my game.

The game i try to play is everquest2 through wine 1.5.31
Game is launching but totally unplayable cause of graphic.

Any idea ? anything i could change to make it work ?

Read the section about "problems" on the PPA page or the first post of this thread.

libg3dvl-mesa with hardware-accelerated adobe-flash

Thank you for your work providing this ppa.

With ATI 4200 HD on a M3A785GMH/128M mainboard and Ubuntu 13.04 Raring, libg3dvl-mesa installed, I notice random pop-outs to the right or underneath (depending on the video) when I watch flash videos with hardware-acceleration enabled in the flash control panel. This happens embedded, windowed on a youtube page and fullscreen as well. When I disable the acceleration the video stays in its aspect-ratio, but is barely watchable in fullscreen (makes sense). When enabled, it takes a few seconds for the acceleration to kick in watching fullscreen videos, the difference is positively huge but again barely watchable with these random pop-outs. Is this something you can work on, or provide a solution for?

Thanks!

I am having some issues with the Champions of Regnum Game....

I am using Linux Mint 15 and out of the box everything was working fine... but you know as a linux user wanted to have the latest drivers ...

So I first have installed the latest xorg/edgers/ppa ati graphic drivers , every game is running ok + playonlinux except Champions of Regnum which it doesnt display any characters in game , it displays them as invisble chars ><

I have removed the xord/edgers ppa and installed oibaf's ppa but the same thing as xorg edgers......

I have an ATI HIS 5970x2 2GB DDR5

Any solution to this?

Hmm? Binutils update? From this repo? Why?

Hi! It has come to my attention that this repo attempts to provide newer Binutils - version 2.23.52.20130611-1ubuntu2~r~gd

Binutils are system-wide thing, it don't have to be touched without reasons as it could be used by other people to build some software. I have no idea why "uptated drivers" should anyhow mess with this part of system. Are there any good reasons to do so? Basically, attempt to update such packages seems to be BAD idea unless there is some uber-reason to do so. And if there is such reason, you should put a BIG RED WARNING about this behavior, IMHO.

Raring mesa packages now built with LLVM 3.3

I uploaded new raring mesa packages now built using LLVM 3.3. Quantal and precise still use LLVM 3.2 and I plan to remove them someday.

Updated binutils (just a straight backport from saucy) is needed to build llvm 3.3 (also backported from debian), see here.

Problem updating drivers

Hi,
i'm trying to update the drivers for my Intel HD 4000, as the external monitor on my laptop doesn't work properly (I'm only allowed 1024x768 or 800x600 resolutions).

I followed this instructions in this post:

sudo add-apt-repository ppaibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

However, it doesn't seem to have done anything, as "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" gave the same results before and after.

~$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.0.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:

Am I missing something?

You are using quantal? You still appears to be using mesa 9.0.3 which is quantal version and not the PPA one. Check you PPA configuration.
