Phoronix: Mesa 9.0 vs. Mesa 9.1-devel On Intel Sandy Bridge

For those Intel "Sandy Bridge" CPU owners with integrated HD 2000/3000 graphics, here are some benchmarks showing the performance of the current Mesa 9.1-devel Git code compared to the stable Mesa 9.0 release. There are a few performance improvements to be found for this open-source Intel Linux graphics driver.

hey better something than nothing. I'm sure there were more benefits than just increased performance.

Hi.

I'm generally curious: as a Fedora user (18 beta), how could I enable OpenGL 3.x support in Mesa for Intel HD 4000 graphics? For some reason I cannot enable it with the default packages provided, and I'm somewhat unsure of how to build Mesa from source over my existing installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Most likely you did not install s2tc (or s3tc) packages.
