Written by Michael Larabel in Mesa on 18 August 2015 at 12:34 PM EDT. 1 Comment

Just days after the big libdrm 2.4.63 release that brought initial AMDGPU DRM support, version 2.4.64 of Mesa's DRM library is now available.

The libdrm 2.4.64 release just brings a handful of fixes centered around the fresh AMDGPU code as well as the Freedreno Gallium3D driver for Qualcomm Adreno hardware has some important fixes. The AMDGPU changes include some improvements, support for 32-bit VA addresses, and support for each GPU device having its own vamgr (virtual allocation manager).

The libdrm 2.4.64 release announcement with the listing of just over a dozen changes can be found on the DRI-devel mailing list.
