Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

Looks like that automatic build failed.

It's looking the curaga branch breaks, disabled now and recompiling.

As of the latest builds of the oibaf graphics stack, both Chrome and Chromium display flagrant graphical glitches whilst rendering pages; this occurs using the Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge drivers.

Any explanation as to why?

I have the same results with Spotify. Which uses chromium in it's Discovery overview.
It happens I think 2 days ago.
Using kernel v3.13 from ubuntu PPA, up-to-date drivers from oibaf, Intel haswell I3-4330.

Refreshed stats-rebased a while ago.

kind of stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer via searching the www ...so, can I upgrade my current mesa/ati driver without rebooting my system? (I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 Gnome, if that matters)

You can update the ddx (x driver) and mesa without rebooting, you just have to stop X and 3D apps for the new versions to take effect. For kernel updates, you pretty much have to reboot.

I don't know why he thinks it is flash related. It happens also if one disables flash in chrome://plugins. Also, I was not aware there is a flash content in gmail.com and plus.google.com.

Eek! I just updated to the latest, and VMWare Player now black-screen glitches out on me shortly after my Windows 7 VM boots. I know the OS is running fine (sound fx, shutdown/startup screens, runs w/o hardware acceleration), I just can't see anything.

Anybody know what version was good (i.e. before the Chrome glitches)? And how to explicitly downgrade to that version?
