Mesa 22.0 Released With Vulkan 1.3, Many Open-Source Intel & AMD Driver Improvements

You can already test it with Debian PowerPC (PPC32) and with MintPPC.

Instructions:

Please add the Debian experimental repo to the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports experimental main
After that, you can install the new Mesa 22.0 with the following commands:

Code: Select all

apt update

Code: Select all

apt install -t experimental libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx mesa-utils
Be carefull with upgrading Debian PowerPC/PPC64 packages because it could be that some things don't work anymore after the upgrade.
I tested this Mesa upgrade today and it works.

apt show libgl1-mesa-dri -a

Interesting...! But is it that the Mesa 22 does not yet have any of those improvements for HD 6000 series?
