Mesa has MRE for these. The release contains multiple fixes amongst which: The nouveau vdpau driver performance has been restored. The wayland-egl module no longer crashes if the user calls eglDestroySurface and wl_egl_window_destroy in the "wrong" order. libEGL correctly advertises the EGL platforms available. Multiple fd leaks were addressed, which could prevent rmmod of devices such as the DisplayLink drivers. Radeonsi has gained noticeable performance by disabling ReZ. Interop between third party OpenCL implementations and mesa's libGL/libEGL is back online... and many more. Full changelog: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2016-November/135027.html I am particularly interested in the RadeonSI performance boost: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2016-October/131759.html In real-world tests the boost is about 20% (Yay!) : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mesa-Post-ReZ-Change-Benchmarks [Test case] Run the default desktop and maybe a game or two. This release has been tested on xenial by the certification team on a set of machines, covering: Intel Haswell Intel Broadwell Intel Skylake AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470 and they all passed the tests. Once this is in -proposed, the community will be asked to test it on a wider range of devices. [Regression potential] yakkety: the release consists of cherry-picks from master, specifically selected as bugfixes. Regression potential should be low. xenial: it's a bigger bump for xenial, but since yakkety already ships with this series the risk should be low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1641017/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
