If that effort fails, we could go with this series as a backup.
I did testing of all three different patch series'es on AMD KV260 and did not find any performance difference between them. The Xorg rendering is still very slow to an external HDMI display. I don't have an opinion on the graphics formats but just want something out to a display by default. I think there is a lot more to fix to get the performance into usable state. Cheers, -Mikko
