    The problem with building against LLVM 3.4 is that its API changes frequently and I should also update every day LLVM in my PPA. There could be a solution, see what I wrote here.

    • And that will not be a solution because the maintainer refuses.

      • How to revert back to stock RADEON drivers???

        Ok read all 72 pages of this thread, i tried the purge ppa command bit it did not revert my graphics back. I am running Mint 15 with KDE 4.11
        I was getting 60fps before in open gl apps now i get less than 30, what gives? how do i get back hardware open gl support?

        i just want the stock mint 15 radeon drivers back, help!!!

        thanks in advance!

          Does Oibaf even support Mint?

          Comment


          • @Oibaf
            i recall my post above. i checked out the links on your ppa and accorindg to the one showing the current development status of mesa and driver supprots on freedesktop.org the i965 driver should already support the geometry shaders and actually opengl 3.2.

            so why is it that it isn't? i mean the geometry shaders are not reported as available extension using glxinfo neither unigine demos recognise it. were your builds configured for a minimal setup, maybe?

              IIRC, Intel only implemented support for geometry shaders on newer chip families.

                what do you mean by that? i have an i3 4330 haswell. how new must it be?

                any link to your infos?

                  It looks like they implemented support for Gen7 and newer hardware which I guess is Ivybridge and haswell. Not sure about older asics like sandybridge.

                    well, then my question still holds as i am having a haswell.

                    am damn curous about what's reason.

                      I think it should work, cause Mint is really just Ubuntu. Mostly Ubuntu. My only problem is getting sound working through HDMI.
