[16:34] <zzarr> hello!
[16:37] <zzarr> this is just a "what if" question, if I have a Vulkan driver for a graphics card, when Mir have support for Vulkan, would that mean that I could use Mir with that driver, or does it not work that way?
[16:42] <alan_g> zzarr: essentially, yes. Although there might be some caveats. camako ^?
[16:49] <kdub> zzarr, I think if its vulkan supported via mesa, you'll probably be alright (because mir has a mesa platform)
[16:50] <kdub> if its supported via <a blob>, support will come when <a blob> is a supported mir platform
[16:58] <zzarr> okey
[16:59] <zzarr> so, I'll have to wait and see
[17:00] <zzarr> there's a Vulkan driver comming to Mali GPU's but I don't know how/if it will be open/closed source
[17:00] <kdub> well, thats an android platform
[17:00] <kdub> and android is supported
[17:01] <kdub> what we would need there is hybris support for vulkan
[17:01] <kdub> which afaik, is not present
[17:02] <zzarr> well kdub, I have an ASUS Chromebook Flip, which Ubuntu would be lovely on ;)
[17:32] <camako> zzarr, answering your original question, mir support needs to be added to every Vulkan driver separately
[17:32] <camako> zzarr, there is no such thing as Mir support for Vulkan in Mir
[17:33] <camako> zzarr, Mir support must be in the individual drivers themselves
[17:34] <camako> We have a prototype for the Mesa Vulkan Intel driver - we were able to do this ourselves since Mesa is open source
[17:34] <camako> We'll upstream it when everything is ready
[17:35] <camako> We also have a prototype for the LunarG Intel Vulkan driver - not sure if that one is worth upstreaming (or even if that's possible... maybe)
[17:45] <zzarr> camako: I thought that it was that way
[17:45] <zzarr> I have to wait and see what they release
[17:46] <camako> zzarr, when is this expected to come out?
[17:51] <zzarr> camako: I don't know, it says comming soon
[17:54] <zzarr> is this something useful? http://malideveloper.arm.com/resources/drivers/open-source-mali-gpus-ump-user-space-drivers-source-code/
[18:00] <camako> not to me :-)
[18:04] <zzarr> okey
[18:06] <zzarr> some day, I will read about how ump and all the other parts of a gpu driver (I only know about kernel-driver and user-space driver yet)
[18:17] <zzarr> is there an ongoing porting of openjdk to mir?
[18:25] <sil2100> Hello! Could anyone review an mir MP? I mean the one in the following silo: https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1421
