Collabora is also a Khronos Group member (who oversee OpenGL, Vulkan and many other standards) and so they will continue to be involved there directly too. Ekstrand continues to mention their work will likely jump between a bit of everything like Panfrost (ARM Mali GPUs), Ray Tracing for RADV (AMD Vulkan driver), OpenCL upgrades and the list goes on.
#Ubuntu change graphics driver back to open source drivers#
Having someone with so much knowledge of open source graphics drivers continue doing it - awesome. In my new role at Collabora, my mandate consists of two things: invest in and mentor the Collabora 3D graphics team and invest in upstream Linux and open-source graphics however I see fit. So what did Collabora finally offer me that no one else has? Total autonomy. The AMDGPU-Pro Driver can be downloaded from the following link: By clicking the Download button, you are confirming that you have read and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement (EULA) linked to this note for use of AMD Proprietary OpenGL, OpenCL, and Vulkan drivers provided by this download. We removed the monitors.xml to solve some resolution problems, remove the. Thankfully, Mesa work will continue with the new posting at Collabora and with plenty of freedom to choose the work too: Then when you boot into Ubuntu change the resolution via the Displays option in the Ubuntu Settings Menu from the cog in the upper right corner.
This driver provides excellent 3D acceleration and video card support. An alternative to Nouveau are the closed source NVIDIA drivers, which are developed by NVIDIA.
Writing in a blog post, Ekstrand goes through some fun background on the decision to move and how it happened.Įkstrand has worked on a lot of different parts of Mesa, the set of open source graphics drivers that powers AMD GPUs, Intel, ARM and more. By default Ubuntu will use the open source video driver Nouveau for your NVIDIA graphics card. Jason Ekstrand, a name that many big Linux fans will know, who previously worked at Intel until very recently has announced today the move to open source consulting firm Collabora.
