Intel's ANV Vulkan Driver Now Supports Tessellation Shaders

[entropy]

I'm not sure - Jason would be more likely to know. I know that vkQuake uses input attachments, and IIRC those weren't implemented in Mesa 13. They are in master. So it's worth a try...

I see. Thank you.
Will be waiting for Mesa 17 then.
Not sure how difficult it is to compile Mesa from git on Fedora without messing up my system.

The SPIR-V stuff should be reusable with a few minor modifications. I suspect it should be pretty easy to hook up.

It's really easy actually - you don't need to install anything at all.

$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa
$ cd mesa
$ CFLAGS='-g -fno-omit-frame-pointer' CXXFLAGS='-g -fno-omit-frame-pointer' ./autogen.sh --with-egl-platforms=x11,drm,wayland --with-dri-drivers=i965 --with-gallium-drivers="" --enable-debug --with-vulkan-drivers=intel --sysconfdir=/etc
$ make -j5

Then:
$ export VK_ICD_FILENAMES="$HOME/mesa/src/intel/vulkan/dev_icd.json" # or wherever you put yoru mesa checkout...
$ <run your app>

If you want to use it for GL as well, then (again, adjusting paths)
$ export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="$HOME/mesa/lib"
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/mesa/lib"

Wow, this was more than helpful!

Didn't know you can run a local Mesa version that way.

Thanks again!

And indeed, vkQuake now starts.
I'll test it tomorrow. For now, all I can see is the menu flickering.
But hey - this is very promising.

Edit: It's only the menu flickering. The game seems to work flawless. \o/

Let's see if Arcane Dimensions runs properly.

That new single-player mod is nothing short of awesome

Very cool
