Doesn't Northern Islands have OpenGL 4.4 (and all but one extension in 4.5, and about half of 4.6) w/ r600? What exactly is missing relative to the last FGLRX release for NI?
- pjmlp 8y agoVideo hardware acceleration for example.
- microcolonel 8y agoThere's UVD support all the way back to R600 (the first AMD chipset to include UVD), two generations before Northern Islands (which I think is what Brazos has), and there has been since before fglrx was discontinued AFAICT. I think on most distributions this support is packaged separately from the rest of Mesa, which may be why you didn't see it.
- pjmlp 8y agoBasically I want the same out of the box experience, regarding GPU features, that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS offered for laptops with AMD APUs.
