For those sticking to the open-source RadeonSI \/ RADV \/ Intel \/ Nouveau drivers, the latest Mesa 19.0.2 graphics libraries is now available to install in Ubuntu 18.04 via PPA.<\/p>\n

Mesa 19.0<\/a> was released a months ago with many features including Intel’s Vulkan driver transform feedback, soft FP64\/INT64, RadeonSI FreeSync\/Adaptive-Sync, AMD Zen thread optimizations, and more. Then Mesa 19.0.2 was released ago a few days with a handful of fixes.<\/p>\n

Canonical’s Timo Aaltonen has made Mesa 19.0.2 package into \u201cUbuntu-X\u201d team PPA<\/a> for Ubuntu 18.04.<\/p>\n

To get better open-source graphics driver performance, you may install Mesa 19.0.2 via following steps:<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Open terminal either via Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> keyboard shortcut or from software launcher. When it opens, run command:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat\/updates<\/pre>\n
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) when it prompts and hit Enter to continue.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
2.<\/b> After adding the PPA, do system update via command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<\/pre>\n
apt-get update<\/code> is not required any more in Ubuntu 18.04 since adding PPA automatically refreshes system package cache.<\/i><\/p>\n
3.<\/b> Finally check your driver version via command:<\/p>\n
glxinfo | grep \"OpenGL version\"<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Uninstall:<\/h4>\n
To restore changes and downgrade to the default drives shipped in Ubuntu 18.04, run command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat\/updates<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
