I was able to build Mesa 17.2.0-devel with DRI 3 support on X5000 using xeno's instructions: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2137&start=100
glxgears values are improved

Hi Caseycullen,

Many thanks for testing the new Mesa 17.2.0-devel with DRI 3 support on your X5000. Your Glxgears values have been really improved. Well done!

Christian,
Thanks for the Mesa 18.0 download! I have tested it on MATE PowerPC Remix with kernel 4.15.0-RC7 and with no issues. I'll test with newer kernel shortly.

Is it worth (or even possible) upgrading if not using a r600 based GPU? (As i am using a Radeon R7 250)
