MESA using LLVMPIPE instead of the Graphics Hardware

Long story short I have a PC with an old, but still undeniably modern and powerful CPU with integrated graphics.

Because of an error on the MESA Devs’ side the Kaveri graphics (at least iGPU ones) are getting their support dropped.

Desktop stuff works decently (at the beginning of Mesa25 even fullscreen videos like with VLC did this), but games have this glitch.

Here’s the latest post I made about this issue.

I NEEDED to make a new post to get an answer for the old one because anything older than 20 hours (which is not cared about by enough people) falls into the Memory Hole.

Inb4 anyone asks “why can’t you just google” or “just spam the Devs”:

  1. I have already “just google’d”, ONLY other forum posts asking for help WITH NO RESULTS came up.
  2. Spamming the Devs will just get me banned, and it’s asshole behavior.

Regressing the Mesa drivers to the latest Mesa 24 release MAY just solve this, but I don’t want to do that for obvious reasons (which I STILL have to preventively list):

  1. Newer Fedora KDE releases may need something from newer Mesa releases.
  2. BY PRINCIPLE they should still just work.

You should read over the posts Joe put on your previous thread. It is unclear if you have tried that.

Joe is a real professional, you can trust him.

Honest and dr answer:

It’s very hot where I live so I missread the previous post, going off an assumption.
It’s been a while since last time I worked on that PC because I have been busy.

Now too it’s too hot for me to “digest” what is said here:

Long story short:
Since I don’t care about “the deep lore” of Linux incantations, ESPECIALLY NOW that it’s almost 30 italian degrees where I live, can I just get a set of instructions which are SURE to work and a short description about what they do?
