Phoronix: R600 Gallium3D Gets Some Last Minute Improvements In Mesa 18.0

These days when Dave Airlie is't busy managing the DRM subsystem or hacking on the RADV Vulkan driver, he's been spending a fair amount of time on some OpenGL improvements to the aging R600 Gallium3D driver. That's happened again and he's landed some more improvements just ahead of the imminent Mesa 18.0 feature freeze...

Good to see for r600 and all the people still using these chips in their main or secondary machines. And esp. in places where you can't change the chip to a more modern one (APUs soldered in laptops or chips in some thin clients).
It is also just sweet if you have an older box to have a working OpenGL implementation for all sorts of needs (that aren't today's "AAA" gaming things). Just slot in an older Radeon card to your old board and there you go and have this "it just works and doesn't give me pain" feeling.
