Consider diagnosing known-bad 3D drivers
After !24 (merged), we should maybe consider adding a list of known-bad 3D drivers and/or hardware devices, with one or more SrtGraphicsIssues
flags to indicate what's wrong with them. After we have a release with !24 (merged) in it, we can ask Valve whether there are any properties that they particularly want to flag up as being a problem.
Some examples of the sort of thing we might want to look for:
- We no longer support the old ATI/AMD proprietary drivers like
fglrx
, which have been superseded byamdgpu
, so maybe we should flag those withSRT_GRAPHICS_ISSUES_FGLRX
orSRT_GRAPHICS_ISSUES_UNSUPPORTED
? - Really old Intel iGPUs are known to be problematic and should maybe be flagged as
UNSUPPORTED
orSLOW
? - Maybe all Intel iGPUs, or iGPUs up to some cut-off point that is reasonably modern, should be flagged as
INTEGRATED
orSLOW
?
GNOME Session has a list of drivers that are known-bad for running GNOME Shell (either in Wayland mode or at all), which we could use for inspiration.
