This version of mesa eliminates drivers for very old graphics cards.
It also uses the crocus driver for some Intel graphics. It
has been tested for nvidia, intel, and amd graphics.
The instructions have been simplified to let the package determine
the appropriate drivers needed for the current system.
It needs virgl-renderer, and although qemu linked to that works
fine in certain places, such as reducing the cpu overhead from
large-window glxgears when running in a BLFS-style qemu build,
offloading the guest's rendering to the host GPU appears to
need libvirt and a much fuller qemu build. It seems to be mainly
for gamers.
For information, link to virglrenderer - I was not logged in to
freedesktop when I tried that today, so note the need for an
account there but also link to the current rlease for those who
do not have an account.
In passing, note that both Fedora and AUR appear to be using later
git commits than the 0.9.1 release.
The crocus driver will be automatically selected at some point,
the fix for that is already in master.
I needed to add a comment to the wiki for using crocus, which is
not yet the default - the link was broken, he old MesaLib page
is the right place, but last updated 15 years ago and the existing
details seem anachronistic.
I know it is somewhat useless, but I don't like them for
two reasons: first they cannot be seen, and I do not like things I
cannot see. Second, git highlights them, and this is disturbing...
