[SOLVED] Mesa 10.1.5 (-current) Slackbuild change to run on AMD HD7750

sberthelot · 07-16-2014, 08:34 AM

After upgrading to mesa-10.1.5 from -current my X11 display doesn't start anymore.

I have a segfault when starting X.
Adding EGL_PLATFORM=drm or EGL_DRIVER=gallium makes it work again (ie. in rc.4) but with no 3D hardware acceleration (Gallium on llvmpipe)

Adding

Code:

--with-egl-platforms="x11,drm"
or even
--with-egl-platforms="drm,x11"

to the configure line in mesa Slackbuild (though I don't understand why the default "auto" config does not get the same result) produces a package that starts X correctly and then even get hardware acceleration (Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAPE VERDE)

I have minor gfx artifacts but no crash for now.

Can Pat or someone else that have access to this Slackbuild consider adding this option ?

It solves a crash (segfault) when starting then new X build on at least AMD Radeon HD7750

The new package (10.2.4 in -current) works directly now, thanks !
I still have very minor gfx artifacts in window decorations (KDE), but that's not directly Slackware related, have to ask KDE and Mesa/Glamor team now

So, it seems now X & 3D acceleration on AMD 7000 chipsets works out of the box in current(using free drivers)! But artifacts in KDE are still present - I also noticed
