@djrumbold, the issue is not too old kernel/mesa/llvm, those are new enough since raring. What is missing is packaging and enablement of glamor (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/), since radeonsi does not support EXA. (Of course newer kernel/mesa/llvm would certainly be good, for example s3tc will be supported)
I have had a ppa for glamor going for a few months, and have used radeonsi 3D acceleration in raring/saucy. Glamor however seems a bit immature: occasional xorg crashes, occasional glyph corruption in firefox, flash content bleeding over other elements. And the 2D performance is not particularly good either. This is not something unique for glamor/radeonsi, I have seen the same result with glamor/intel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1209397 Title: [radeonsi] radeonhd "southern islands" 3d hardware acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1209397/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
