Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

WSL is not that critical, let's see how the bug settles anyway.

I dropped the d3d12 gallium and video drivers, they now requires a newer directx headers still not available in Ubuntu and they are not very useful anyway.

Does anybody have packages that are kept back when upgrading?

I am having this issue for some time.

Packages for 20.04/focal and 21.10/impish from now are no longer updated and will be removed next month.

Upgrade to 22.04/jammy (or even 22.10/kinetic) if you want to continue using the updated packages from the PPA.

Disabled not-so-useful d3d12 stuff because of issue 6733.

Hi,

altough I see you disabled d3d12 stuff (presumably d3d12 video and openglon12 support) I'm requesting once you enable, please add also dozen support for WSL setups..
now dozen is mature to build under Linux and has also WSI present support, so vulkan apps like vkcube started to work..
I builded for WSL with meson flag -Dvulkan-driver=microsoft-experimental

PS: seems d3d12 mesa stuff builds ok since:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/17548/commits

can you check if can reenable d3d12 stuff already?

thanks for your work!..

When https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...gi?bug=1014472 will be addressed, I'll sync the package in my PPA, then I can re-enable d3d12 / dozen.

Hello,
I recently tried playing OpenMW using your drivers but it doesn't render any geometry ingame anymore.
I have a lot of errors like this:

r300 VP: cannot handle clip vertex output.
Warning: detected OpenGL error 'invalid enumerant' at after TransparentDepthBinCallback::drawImplementation

I've reached out for help on their forum and they said it's driver issue so i'm asking for help here instead.
Game did work for me just over a month ago.

Thank you for your hard work!

Looks like there have been a lot of changes to the r300 driver recently - I believe they were related to using NIR natively but not 100% sure.

If you can go back one or two Mesa releases you will probably find it starts working again; if you can narrow it down to a small number of changes and file a bug ticket that will make it easier for a developer to figure out what broke. Ideally bisect to a specific commit if you can.

d3d12 will be enabled with tomorrow build.

thanks for enabling d3d12 stuff!
sorry for asking again but can reconsider now enabling dozen?
