    • Yes.. Seems the last intel update solve the problem..
      But DRI_PRIME/OFFLOAD is 100% broken.
      So way of load using xrandr

      • I was testing out the mesa AMD OpenCL drivers with pyrit benchmarks, and I was surprised by the performance gains vs the proprietary AMD drivers: 20-30%! Gallium OpenCL has gotten a lot better in the past few months.

        So, I was wondering if the maintainer of the repository wouldn't mind applying this patch I made (adapted from this debian sid patch) to turn on opencl support in mesa? This patch builds out the opencl libraries to seperate deb packages, and it is tested and working on the latest mesa oibaf source package (as of right now). It can be found here: http://pastebin.com/iaaRCtBm

        The only other thing required is the libclc libraries, which can be backported from the trusty working repo here. The llvm and clang packages in the oibaf repository already fulfill the requirements.

        Regardless, thank you so much for this repo, it has saved me a lot of time and anguish in trying to get the latest mesa drivers working.

          Well yeah, the issue with Chrome has been fixed, but another one (ones?) appeared. This happened on my laptop, and on workstation. After some time X crashes, and I get lightdm login screen appears. Unfortunately I don't have time to report the issue, because I cannot find where the logs are : ). It looks to me that log files structure has changed on Ubuntu. I have just checked again and this is all I have found:

          Since I have some work to do, I have purged oibaf repo, and will try in couple of days again.

            I am blind. I see now exactly the same crash message as you had.

            But the error file /sys/class/drm/card0/error has nothing in it... Only "no error state collected".

              I was aware of the debian report but I never tried it, now I added it to the PPA (based on the debian bug patch, your, the only notable difference I see was using clang 3.4, didn't apply cleanly). Thanks for the interest anyway!

              The package to use is libopencl1-mesa. Let me/us know if/how it works!

                Woop! Yes, I just installed it and ran the libclc and pyrit selftests, everything seems to be working fine. Thank you!

                Yeah, I had to edit that patch by hand because it seems that I'm retarded when it comes to editing and pushing changes to debian source packages . Do you know any good resources so I can figure out what the hell I'm doing?

                BTW, if any of you want to run pyrit using mesa-opencl, you have to build cpyrit from source and edit setup.py to include /usr/include/CL, since it doesn't look in there when searching for the opencl headers. Build BOTH pyrit and cpyrit-opencl from source, if you install the pyrit package, it'll fuck up the library search path for cpyrit and it won't load.

                • Last updates seems solve this and dri_prime/offload.

                  The onl thing that bug me is I cant use YET the offload to load the ubuntu by default or browsers.
                  Ubuntu load exporting globally the dri_prime but no background ( black ones) and sites inside the browser ( flash or not) freezes.

                  Wish one day use my 6850m inside notebook to do something more than NOTHING ( I'm not a gamer).

                    • good morning

                      my notebook :
                      core-i5 M 480
                      AMD Radeon HD 6550M
                      8 Gb Ram
                      Xubuntu 13.10 X86_64 + Oibaf ppa

                      I upgrade to kernel 3.13.1 and now I can not make the switch
                      sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
                      Code:
                      0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
                      1:DIS: :DynOff:0000:01:00.0
                      2:DIS-Audio: :Off:0000:01:00.1
                      before upgrade :
                      Code:
                      0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
                      1:DIS: :Pwr:0000:01:00.0
                      2:DIS-Audio: :Pwr:0000:01:00.1

                      echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
                      does not work


                      echo DDIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
                      restart lightdm

                      lightdm does not restart
                      I read this message: client refuse switch

                      is this a bug?
