I've spent a fair bit of time in the open source radeon and nouveau drivers and I never noticed any workarounds in place solely to fix a broken client.
Open source driver developers don't have the time or resources to pull off a stunt like that!
- bsder 12y agoOr, more importantly, motivation.
- buster 12y agoEspecially since an open source client, can be fixed on the client side. No reason to include nasty hacks for buggy clients.
- whizse 12y agoThere are workarounds for broken behaviour though: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/mesa/drivers/dri/common/drirc http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/mesa/drivers/... I think that in some cases the developers (at least Intel) have reached out to game developers first, to get them to fix their own bugs/out of spec behavior.
