    Phoronix: Is Upgrading To Mesa 11.1-devel Worthwhile For Radeon R600g Users?

    With last week's release of Ubuntu 15.10, Mesa 11.0 is part of the open-source graphics stack. Unfortunate for those with an AMD GCN GPU that uses the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver, Mesa 11.0 on Ubuntu 15.10 is built against an older version of LLVM that doesn't allow the OpenGL 4.1 support to be exposed. For RadeonSI users, I'd say switching to Mesa 11.1-devel + LLVM 3.8 SVN is almost a must once installing Ubuntu 15.10, but is it worthwhile for R600g users?..

    Has anyone begun working to implement GL_ARB_tessellation_shader into r600g?

    Once that is done then it bumps support to OpenGL 4.1. I hope it happens soon.

      Seems like I don't have to be in a rush to upgrade my Ubuntu 15.04 with Mesa 10.5.9.

        Dave Arlie has a branch somewhere with a bunch of r600g tessellation code in it. No idea how close it was to being finished, though.

          Good to know that r600g tessellation is worked on! Hopefully someone will implement fp64 emulation for TeraScale hardware that doesn't support it.
