Hi all, I tried this on the users mail list, but it seems a little slow. So I'm trying again here.
I'm a Mesa/DRI newbie. I'm working on an embedded, real-time application and need an accelerated GPU for graphic data processing using fragment shaders written in GLSL. We cannot use (commercial) binary kernel drivers, since we have to recompile the kernel source code to make it compatible with the real-time linux. I'd prefer the mesa-solo environment and bypass X11, but if I have to, I'll use the normal mesa-dri setup and run X11 as well. Here's are my questions: 1. Which of the supported GPUs work fine (stable, fast, many extensions) atm? I'm interested in modern ATI cards or the new Intel hardware. If possible, running in the mesa-solo environment. 2. I understand that the mesa R300 driver is in experimental state according to Wikipedia. Should I avoid it? 3. Can I use all of the linux-dri drivers (i810 i915 i965 mach64 mga r128 r200 r300 radeon s3v savage sis tdfx trident unichrome ffb) in linux-solo mode? The latter only has a subset of these activated in the config file. 4. I see mesa has an Intel i965 driver, but there's no matching DRM module. How can I use the i965 DRI driver? Thanks for any info.
