  testing/mesa-7.10-1 still have no --enable-gallium-r600 in configure


 I would like to add that starting with AMD HD 69XX the open source radeon
driver will be built on top of Gallium 3D only (source :
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=ODk4OQ). As far I'm
concerned the two drivers are now on par at least for r300 et r600 (I don't
know the situation for the other GPU).

So I guess that would be nice to (at least) think to switch.

Cheers,
Thomas

[arch-general] What about gallium on r600?

2010-12-13 Thread Sergej Pupykin

Hi,

it works not worse than classic mesa on my RV620.

I add --enable-gallium-r600 and modify package_ati-dri-git() in mesa-git 
PKGBUILD as it is already done for r300


(make -C ${srcdir}/build/src/gallium/targets/dri-r600 
DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install)


I test current (20101213) git snapshot.

May be put it into testing and enable on next release?

Upstream does not currently advise using this driver. Upstream usually
is knowledgeable about this so we should hang on for some more time.
Unless, of course, some recent changes have been merged. Did you ask in
#radeon? If not, can you do that and inform us about the current state
of the driver and whether using gallium for r600 is recommended yet?

I'll probably follow again the Fedora way. They switched in FC Rawhide
to Mesa 7.10 snapshots and enabled r600 gallium there. So expect this
when we will push new Mesa 7.10 to our repos.

Right now we are in a bad situation: With new libdrm 2.4.23 released
Mesa 7.9 won't build anymore. Updating to Mesa 7.10 branch is possible
but new Xorg 1.10 release candidate will break proprietary NVidia
driver. I'll delay these updates for a some time if there's no other
solution.
