Direct3D 9 Support Stands A Chance Of Being Added To Mesa

[Dukenukemx]

Hi everyone,

For the Ubuntu users of obiaf's PPA who want to use Gallium Nine without recompiling, I created a PPA that is just obiaf's PPA + Gallium Nine. It updates twice a day.

Very good, very good indeed. BTW, link doesn't work.

Yeah I deleted it since gallium nine will be readded to the PPA.

Update again, my PPA is back because the person who said Nine was readded lied, same link!

No idea who said that, but I am indeed willing to add it again to my main PPA if nouveau issue got fixed, else I could also set it up in a dedicated PPA.

It would be really cool if you could keep a PPA that was just mesa git with Gallium Nine. You have much more experience than me in this department.

one nouveau issue has been solved few minutes ago ( https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D/comm...94cbda6808b778 ) but there will be few another I guess, so for now it will be better for users to have possibility checkout Mesa with and without nine patches.

I think that we need two PPAs, so anyone who use a Radeon can play games fast. And i don't understand all the commotion, we have native D3D and good free drivers with one vendor (AMD), all Linux Gamers just replace your GPU with a Radeon, it's just a little extra cost if you sell your Nvidia GPU to, but very cheap for your freedom.

OK, I'll setup a dedicated PPA, hopefully tomorrow, if not the following days.

Thanks, I installed both your PPA's but I can't tell if it's working. I have both oibaf's and your PPA so I don't know if they're interfering with each other? I ran some tests and I can't see a performance boost. I have UseNative enabled with hexadecimal 1. I ran 3DMark03 without your mesa PPA and got 5300 score. BTW hardware is a Intel I3 2.4Ghz with Radeon HD 6370M. Ran test again with your Mesa PPA and got 5366. The only real noticeable difference was the CPU tests which took a whole minute before they started, and they displayed. Now they display instantly and with fluid frames. Still can't tell if it's working.

Tried Unigine Sanctuary and same thing.

Direct3D UseNative 0 = 15 fps average
Direct3D UseNative 1 = 15 fps average
Opengl Linux = 26 fps average

I add a dedocated Gallium Nine PPA here.
