GLAMOR Patch Bomb Can Boost Some Operations By 700~800%

So are there any easy ways to test these out once they get committed ? It seemed when Glamor was a standalone lib it would be easier to update/release versions faster - do we really now either have to wait for a new Xorg release, or build the entire X server from git?

Anyone able to get GLAMOR working on Evergreen with KWin?

Yup, I got it working fine. Maybe check your xorg.conf? It should be enabled by default but something is probably conflicting with it. I'm currently running Arch 64 bit.

If you're getting issues where compositing effects randomly don't work, I've noticed that problem seems to have gone away in the 4.13 update.

Eh, GLAMOR isn't that bad.

It is that bad for basic X11 drawings, just XRender drawings are accelerated fine.

If I remember right, on the GLAMOR benchmark done without any of these patches, GLAMOR was running between 40-80% of Intels SNA/UNA.

And absolute change is what? From 2 to 12 fps average

Eh, GLAMOR isn't that bad. But, that would still be an impressive improvement regardless.

I look forward to the results.
