Phoronix: RADV Is Almost Ready For SteamVR With Mainline Mesa

Those using Radeon graphics for your Steam VR Linux gaming experience will soon be able to use the mainline Mesa stack with the necessary RADV changes almost all being in place...

I still see quite some short freezes, e.g. in heavier SteamVR Home environments, but I think the high priority rendering is not finished yet, and perhaps they will only start using it in combination with the soon to come drm lease direct mode.

RadV is also a lot faster than it was a couple months ago. Good progress.

Yep, as of Friday I am no longer running a special branch of RADV. It now works just fine in Munch VR, for example. SteamVR Home still has some small hiccups here and there, but I am sure that will be sorted quickly. Also I got to test Serious Sam with that new code too....
