I wasn't aware Intel graphics used llvm too. Now I am. =:^)
I'm not sure, but even if they didn't, AFAIK mesa uses LLVM to speed up CPU rendering, so you would probably want it regardless (my understanding is: in any case where a driver doesn't implement a particular OpenGL function, a software implementation can be used instead, and that can be accelerated/ optimised by LLVM). > Does anyone know about nVidia graphics, both servantware and freedomware? > I'm guessing the servantware doesn't use it, but the freedomware very > well could, if both Intel and AMD are doing so. I would be surprised if the nouveau driver didn't use LLVM, too, but I don't know for sure. No idea about nvidia. > And while we're on the topic, last I knew nVidia had no plans to do > wayland with their servantware at all. Any hints of that changing? No idea, sorry (also, I don't care ;-) ). Greetings -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
