[Vulkan][Linux][Mesa] VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DIRVER

[Mathieu_V_]

Hello guys,

I'm on Gentoo/Linux and tried to run vulkaninfo, but :

===========
VULKAN INFO
===========

Vulkan API Version: 1.0.30

So I have mesa 12.0.1 and dri3 and my graphic card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Sky Lake Integrated Graphics
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 121
	Memory at dd000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
	Capabilities: [40] Vendor Specific Information: Len=0c <?>
	Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
	Capabilities: [ac] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
	Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [100] Process Address Space ID (PASID)
	Capabilities: [200] Address Translation Service (ATS)
	Capabilities: [300] Page Request Interface (PRI)
	Kernel driver in use: i915

Maybe I need to do something to force kernel driver i965?

Thanks

Have a great day :)

Seems like you just need to remove the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver to force DRI3 (and thus enable Vulkan)

Thanks for your help, but it's not working.

I think dri3 is okay :

I hope I won't have to switch on window to work on Vulkan...

Anyway thanks

Hi Mathieu,

Unfortunately I can't help with Linux driver questions/issues, it is not a specialty. There are some places you can go for help though.

For questions and issues with the Mesa driver, your best options are:

• File a bug in Mesa's public bug tracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa . In the component field, select Drivers/DRI./i965.
• Send a message to Mesa's development mailing list http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev .
• Most of the Intel Mesa developers are on IRC in irc://irc.freenode.net/#intel-gfx or irc://irc.freenode.net/#dri-devel. People there are very helpful.

For LVDS issues, your best option is to contact one of Intel's kernel graphics developers. You can find them on IRC atirc://irc.freenode.net/#intel-gfx and on the mailing list  http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
