Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[cgltower]

Hi, great stuff oibaf!

I cannot get llvmpipe/swrast going on an amazon virtual machine - that in itself might be out of scope for this thread.
However out of curiosity, I can get package libgl1-mesa-swx11 working that replaces libgl1-mesa-glx. Is there a similar method for llvmpipe?
The error is simply

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 glxinfo | grep renderer
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

However this used to say Mesa X11 with libgl1-mesa-swx11
Using ubuntu 11.04
thx
PS: donation if possible

Dunno what may be the problem. I'd suggest asking on mesa-dev.

Hi!
I am trying to run Heaven and Tropics demos on HD4250 with open-source drivers. I am using iobaf drivers but none is working correctly.
Hevaen starts, but textures are missing. Tropics does not start and it says:

My glxinfo:

Also FrozenByte games are missing textures.

Hi!

I am using Radeon HS4250, iobaf drivers and I am trying to run Unigine tests.
Tropics fails to run and recieve this output
http://pastebin.com/SjpWXP6D

Heaven starts, but missing textures.

Here is my glxinfo. http://pastebin.com/BM9Vw8vm

Also, FrozenByte games misses testures. Shadowgrounds works on my Radeon 9600m (but slow).

Apparently you are not using my PPA with the game:

Engine::init(): clear video settings for "Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2"

glxinfo correctly detect it:

OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.12-devel (git-4c84fbe natty-oibaf-ppa)

Are you on a 64 bit architecture? If yes you should also update the 32 bit mesa (I am on 32 bit so I can't help, I know it should be easier on oneiric, but my packages are still natty-only).

Thanks for info! (and thanks for doing really good work!)
So your PPA does not have effect on 64bit Ubuntu? Any idea where could I get updated drivers for 64bit?

[oibaf]

The PPA include 64 and 32 bit versions of all the packages (indeed glxinfo works fine). The problem is that when you want to use a 32 bit game (i.e. games you download from 3rd party sites. Games from Ubuntu archives should always be 64 bit) on a 64 bit system you have to also install 32 bit mesa, but that's not easy to do on natty. It will be easier on oneiric (I'd suggest to try it...).

[gsedej]

Thanks for explanation! There is no Tropics 64bit executable.

Any idea why there are textures missing in Heaven? glxinfo output is the same. Heaven output is here http://pastebin.com/GKWmbhV9

Do you know what's with missing textures in Heven? Glxinfo is the same, here is output of Heaven http://pastebin.com/GKWmbhV9
Here is how I see: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/slika322.jpg/

I'm not sure why, but I don't seem to be able to upgrade:
Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden:
libegl1-mesa libegl1-mesa-drivers libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libgles2-mesa
Die folgenden Pakete werden aktualisiert (Upgrade):
libdrm-dev libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau1a libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libglu1-mesa libkms1 libopenvg1-mesa libvpx0 mesa-common-dev xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-radeon


The reason why the above packages are not being installed:
libegl1-mesa : Hängt ab von: libglapi-mesa (= 7.12~git1110030847.1165b6~gd~n) aber 7.12.0~git20110726.b189d163-0ubuntu0sarvatt2~natty soll installiert werden
libgl1-mesa-glx : Hängt ab von: libglapi-mesa (= 7.12~git1110030847.1165b6~gd~n) aber 7.12.0~git20110726.b189d163-0ubuntu0sarvatt2~natty soll installiert werden
libgles2-mesa : Hängt ab von: libglapi-mesa (= 7.12~git1110030847.1165b6~gd~n) aber 7.12.0~git20110726.b189d163-0ubuntu0sarvatt2~natty soll installiert werden


Any help is appreciated :/
(Honestly, I think I fiddled with some X packages after installing Ubuntu a few months ago and simply forgot it... but I'm not sure and don't know how to find out).

Thanks
