I have mixed something up. The glxgears values are OK. Thank you for testing!

Hi Everyone

I have compiled Mesa-Git with radeionsi gallium driver on my Cyrus

My graphic card is R7 265.

I used following configuration

sudo sh ./autogen.sh --prefix /usr/local/mesa-git --with-gallium-drivers="radeonsi" --enable-texture-float --enable-gallium-llvm --with-egl-platforms=drm --enable-dri --enable-dri3 --enable-xa --enable-gbm --enable-omx --enable-shared-glapi --enable-glx-tls

make install completed without problems.

However when I run glxgears, system uses the software driver.

What should I do now to enable radeonsi ?

I am using JM's latest Ubuntu Xenial image..

Would you mind asking Alex about Mesa for Radeon 7xxx graphics cards or newer via the X5000 mailing list? Alex works with another developer on Mesa for Radeon 7xxx graphics cards and newer.

Thanks in advance.

Well, from what i understand from the Mesa delelopers list, there is only Oded who just recently started working on the driver and said that it is completly broken. The good news from this month is that he managed to fix some basic stuff. The bad news is that we still have a long road and he is just one guy who never worked before on this issue. The stuff he is working on is pretty much sort of top layer as there are even more bugs at a more fundamental base as you can see with llvmpipe which also is not working.

Hi All,

The CPU is also important for hardware 3D acceleration. Please test glxgears with the most CPU time.
nice -n -20 = Most favorable process kernel scheduling

Hi All,

The final release of ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS has a new version of Mesa. It's Mesa 11.2.0. It seems that we don't need the unofficial Mesa anymore.
Could you please test it?

Thanks in advance,

Christian

I was going to try and figure out how to install Mesa 11.2.0
but a recent update has done it for me:

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV730 (DRM 2.43.0)
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.2 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.2.0
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 1.50
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

It all seems fine on a lowly Radeon HD4650 and ubuntu MATE 16.04, kernel 4.6 rc5

Thanks a lot for testing the RC5 of kernel 4.6 and many thanks for testing the new Mesa version.

Just for info.



I can play the following 1080p Big Buck Bunny video files:

big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
big_buck_bunny_1080p_stereo.avi

with the new official Mesa 11.2.0 (Gallium 0.4 on AMD BARTS DRM 2.43.0).

I've selected the video output OpenGL video output (experimental) in the VLC media player preferences.

Hardware-accelerated decoding with VDPAU video decoder doesn't work. VA-API video decoder via DRM works.
