    Phoronix: Radeon Vega Changes For Libdrm, Plans For Merging Prior To Kernel Support

    The latest in the hardware enablement work for adding support for the upcoming Radeon RX Vega to the open-source Linux graphics driver are the patches to libdrm for this Mesa DRM library that sits between the DRM kernel drivers and Mesa / xf86-video / other user-space graphics code...

      It should be possible to run the amdstaging kernel with default Mesa 17.1 - apart from LVM. Most likely people will need to use the Mesa Git repo on Arch.

        So... I guess the "stable" release will be dependent on LLVM 5.0, as anything else will be "ready" before LLVM 5.0? And if yes, any guesses on how long LLVM will need to hit non-git release?

              4.0 was released just 9 days ago. And there are two LLVM releases per year, so 5.0 would be in about 6 months.

                A little off-topic: is it somehow possible to use the closed opencl driver on mainline kernel and libdrm? The last time I tried, I didn't succeed.

                  Yep. That'd be around mid-September.

                  We're probably looking at linux kernel 4.13 out at that time, which might have DC support if we're lucky. I'm still guessing probably 4.14 though. Mesa should get upstream support released first.
