Update OSS drivers to a config-free setup #8
Conversation
|
This code is now in our unstable branch. Feedback is welcome. |
…t if it exists, to make it easier to switch to radeon
… an exception for intel-nouveau, because the propritary driver is much better, also changed to versions to todays date

Always the highest number of profiles will be used in automatic-config of mhwd. I've now uploaded the latest changes to unstable. |

@Tids: seems we got some kind of regression report already. Hope we get more information about it soon. |

Why does it here needs vulkan-radeon? Is it a typo?

ourg. Yes. Of course this one is not needed in there.

Can you fix the typo then? For testing it, it shouldn't matter for pre6 ...

@Tids: can you test v17.0.2-pre6 to verify all changes made? |
…dgpu-class setups
For the OSS-graphicsdrivers (intel,radeon,amdgpu,noveau) I suggest to switch to a config-free setup. Xorg (and wayland) is able to detect the drivers by themself. It is also more flexible in case of new hardware, because no hardcoded PCI slots or anything like this.
For hybrid systems we should phase out bumblebee where we're able to (I dont know how the situation is with Nvidia blob).
Mesa Prime should work much better without configuration files. It will use the graphicschip, that is either set as main in BIOS/UEFI or attached to the main screen, as main graphics chip by default. Now the user can switch to the dedicated graphicscard with DRI_PRIME=1 . GNOME seems to have this already integrated in the DE itself.
