Further to comment #30, the "preferred" solution of SimpleDRM is making a comeback (but doesn't yet exist in anyone's kernel): https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-August/114861.html
It doesn't have to be the only option though. We can still do an fbdev+osmesa driver in the meantime that will work with current kernels instead of having to wait for some future kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118903 Title: [enhancement] Mir lacks a software rendering backend (and doesn't work in virtual machines) Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Mir: Triaged Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As always, it's a critical requirement for Ubuntu to be able to render the same thing on any machine (metal or virtual), regardless of the availability of hardware acceleration.
