I see, thanks for clarifying! Looks like driver teams need some more coordination to avoid such kind of cases?...

[shmerl]

Why did they not try to put it all upstream before the release? Lack of resources or some unexpected blockers?

[shmerl]

Yep, no noticeable change in The Witcher 3 performance.

How is this an excuse, if it's for DRM not on desktops? It's still for DRM....

[shmerl]

Do any games get a noticeable performance boost from this? I'll test with The Witcher 3 later today.

That's a fallacy. If you are pro-freedom, you shouldn't agree with implementing police state approach....

Instead of implementing unethical DRM trash, let Wayland developers actually work on features useful for everyone that are severely missing. Did they...

You can write in assembly if you want. You still need to know how to bind. Besides, targeting GPUs from other languages is not a bizarre idea. See ht...

I simply always disable files content search. It's very taxing and due to some bugs leads to major issues sometimes....

It doesn't matter on what you bind, it's the complexity of it. Sure, Qt has bindings but see how difficult they were to implement. All this could really...

[shmerl]

Isn't using C++ posing a problem for bindings for other languages, or they offer solutions for that?

[shmerl]

That's an improvement. But they should get rid of Android specific interfaces in their whole graphics stack, not just the kernel, and unify it with regular...

Like upcoming Zen 2?...

Video acceleration is tied to WebRender I suppose. So it's WebRender + Wayland that's required. And then there is a third effort coming - WebRender +...

Is AMD Mesa team mainly located in Canada?

At the same time, KDE developers don't seem very eager to work on it, or see potential in such work....

Looks like automatic GPU reset is still broken. Did you try the Alt+SysRq / REISUB method at least? It helps me in case of such hangs, and it's better...

Vulkan compositor won't need EGLstreams or GBM. But someone needs to implement it first: https://cgit.kde.org/kwin.git/log/?h=fredrik/vulkan...
