    So until someone implements DRI3 for radeon it's useless... There is a patch from iXit, but I've tried it and it's very buggy. Basically unusable.
    It's not true anymore.

    Since Fedora wanted to ship Gallium Nine support, we made patches to have a DRI2 fallback. So it'll work with DRI2 (but there is a small perf hit)

      Didn't Wine devs already comment CSMT will never be included in Wine but instead they'll build some new thing based on it?

        AFAIK, not new. They just decided to target CSMT and rewrite WINE infrastructure for D3D11 before CSMT makes into master, to save the efforts.

          My nvidia with OpenGL wrapper works faster than your AMD with rather unstable dx9. Not sure if it's sad or funny...

            Well once the modesetting driver gets page flipping support (which hopefully happens before xserver 1.17 is released) you can (and should) just use it on newer radeon hardware. You get dri3 "for free" and it lacks nothing you get when running the radeon driver.

              Some of us use the PC for more than gaming and dualboot is not an option.
              I run Owncloud, HTPC/SteamBP seat, KDE seat and WinConsole8.1 VM.
              Its hard to find proper HW and setup the whole thing just to run WinConsole VM.
              Just finding KVM switch that works with gaming mouse and keyboard was hard, and the damn thing started to have problems with audio

                ..except native 2d acceleration and support for not tearing. Glamor is not enough.

                  I use a DRI3 patched xf86-video-ati ddx since months without the slightest problem (glamor).

                    The modesetting driver in the xserver uses the same acceleration (glamor) that the radeon driver uses and will also support pageflipping once those patches land.

                      He knows, he was simply arguing that glamor sucks so much to not even be considerated "acceleration"
