So have these patches been implemented yet? And if so, how do you enable glamor acceleration in mageia 3?

Comment 8 Joseph Wang 2013-03-30 08:05:21 CET
These patches haven't been implemented for Mageia 3, but it's not a huge loss since they were exteremely unstable anyhow.  

glamor acceleration was extremely unstable last time I checked.  (i.e i barely got gears running for a few minutes before the machine locked).

Once Mageia 3 gets released, and I do some cleanup work, I'll try to get things working again.  Hopefully, it's a lot more stable now.
Comment 9 Philippe Leblanc 2013-03-30 17:13:26 CET
Thank you for your rapid response and for your work on this. I'm quite excited about trying glamor once it is stable since the gains in performance have been pretty significant. I'm using an E2-1800 laptop apu with a radeon HD7340 which is a bit limited in performance, especially using gnome 3. Glamor should make this modest hardware shine.

Sorry, bugs@ml and pkg-bugs@ml members, for the avalanche.

72 bugs with the "New RPM package request" component, had a severity of "normal" or more, which can lead to losing precious time when searching Bugzilla for bugs that urgently need to get fixed

Now mass-changing that to "enhancement", as it should be for package requests.

@ the reporter of this package request

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this software did already get packaged, and close this bug report if it did.
Please do also close it if you find a package with the same purpose, that meets your needs.

Severity: major => enhancement

Glamor has been merged into Xorg server 1.16 in July 2014.
