Mesa 11.3 is still on track for being formally released in June if you are concerned about running fresh Git code on your desktop. Today 4 October 2016 I try again to update the Intel Graphic Driver for Ubuntu 16.04 with the tool and using the same gpg and repository that stil doesnt work for weak digest algorithm (SHA1) After almost three months still the tool is not working.

#Ubuntu intel graphics driver 16.04 install
Even if you are not a Broadwell/Skylake/etc owner, there's still tons of great features and improvements offered up by Mesa 11.3-dev for all of the major Mesa/Gallium3D hardware drivers. Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) To install the latest general purpose GPU (GPGPU) software packages on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal), add the Intel® software package repository and install the appropriate packages.

So with a simple apt-add-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers & apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade, my Intel Broadwell ultrabook was finally having OpenGL 4.2 support atop Ubuntu 16.04! So far so good, I'll work on having some test results up in the next few days. As of writing this article, the Padoka PPA - another common source for getting up-to-date open-source user-space graphics driver components on Ubuntu - didn't yet have a recent enough snapshot.

The long-standing Oibaf Launchpad PPA has fresh Mesa 11.3-dev Git snapshots as of today for accessing the Intel OpenGL 4.2 support on capable hardware. This is a guide about how you can install the latest Intel graphics driver in Ubuntu 16.04. I checked the forums for solutions, but I havent got a solution. While Ubuntu 16.04 will be sticking with Mesa 11.2 until Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS as a point release with hardware enablement backports from Ubuntu 16.10, it's easy getting this newer Mesa code anyways. I have a Lenovo with Intel Core i5, and AMD Radeon Graphics. It will not be until the follow-on Mesa release around September before there's support for Haswell and friends in the GL4 space. This OpenGL 4.0+ support for Mesa 11.3/12.0 requires Broadwell or newer. With today marking the milestone of Intel's Mesa driver jumping ahead to OpenGL 4.2 compliance after just yesterday hitting OpenGL 4.0, I decided to try out the Mesa Git code of the i965 driver on an Ubuntu 16.04 system.įor doing some initial tests, I fired up the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop with Core i7 5600U "Broadwell" processor.
