@gfxstrand Thanks for the update! It is amazing how fast it is progressing.
Was there any decision on the approach for the OpenGL driver? Will a brand new Gallium based OpenGL driver be written or will Zink be used?
@adilarif Still TBD. I think we're going to see how well Zink works in practice and then go from there. Building a new gallium driver based on the components we're building for NVK probably isn't a monumental task but it's still a lot of maintenance work to keep two drivers up. We'll see how it goes.
@gfxstrand Thanks for taking the time to share that insight! I appreciate it!
@gfxstrand @collabora very nice! especially appreciate the support for older gpus (like kepler)
