6 years ago They're just trolling us now. :-( Do they even have a driver that works on Ubuntu 16.04.3 yet?
Went to the web site:
Known Issues
* Corruption is observed while resizing terminal window in Ubuntu 16.04.3 – this is a kernel issue and is expected to be fixed with Ubuntu 16.04.4Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Well, then, don't do that!

6 years ago Quick question; what does 17.50/4.9 provide that isn't provided with 4.15/mesa from git/AMD DC? I understand PRO provides the proprietary libraries, but I would like to know the difference in user-available features, if possible.

6 years ago Sigh - I tried it on my Ubuntu 16.04.3 parition and it doesn't work, even in "headless" (OpenCL only) mode. They say it will work with 16.04.4. This is madness.

6 years ago I have the opencl-amd package from 17.50 running on Arch on my AMD card. That piece has been ported and it works. As I noted above, the supposedly-supported Ubuntu 16.04 version does not work on the same machine.

6 years ago Hello all.

This release seems to contain open-source mesa components as well as the closed-source components. It might take some time to figure out how to package this without breaking arch's mesa or "masking" the newer mesa stack with the older bundled one. It is said they bundle 17.2.4, while arch has 17.3 already, which has many improvements.
