Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[a user]

For those with white screen issues: I'd be very interested, if it works with my mesa packages from https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/test

They are built with llvm-3.4 and also include DRI3 support. Raring and Saucy packages available.

do you suggest using it instead of oibaf's ppa or in addition to it?
i ask because you don't seem to have a needed new xserver package, only mesa and the device drivers.


has anybody with an intel (especially with an haswell) been able to properly run the current unigine demos?

The white and messed up screen also happens with Metro: Last Light. Any idea how to fix that on HD 4000?

Adobe flash does not make use of any hardware accelerated APIs by default. You can force flash to use VDPAU in some cases, but your chips does not have the necessary hardware to accelerate it.

Hmm, on my 7660G + 7670M dual graphics laptop (with Ubuntu 13.10 + kernel 3.12 daily), I seem to have color banding. It's mostly noticeable when I open up the dash on Ubuntu.

Any ideas as what I could do to fix it? The banding doesn't exist on fglrx.

LAtest oibaf updates ( ones today)..

Still;

"...

Did anyone get this errors resolved? I tried the packages for 13.04 (raring) which were build on 15. Nov. and still get this errors.
My processor is a Haswell i5-4200U.

Should this work or is this the expected behaviour?

Thanks.
