Is that stack the one with radeon-rewrite? Although from what I've read
things seem to march along nicely, I guess quite a few regressions may
be present in that branch right now. There was a phoronix test too not
long ago that seemed to indicate that, although things were progressing
well, there were some regressions (expected). So I got a couple of
questions:
Is it possible to include, let's say, xserver-xorg-video-radeon and
xserver-xorg-video-radeon-rewrite? I suppose the answer is no due to
the other changes in mesa and drm
How worthwile is it to put the radeon rewrite stuff? Would it be in
order to fix regressions with more margin looking forward to the next
LTS?
Regards,
Miguel
