Hi,

This MR: implement linux dmabuf v6, and with it do multi GPU copies ourselves (!7101) · Merge requests · Plasma / KWin · GitLab is tackling a long standing problem for me, so I was looking for pointers to how to test it. Stuff like: do I need a specific version of mesa, etc?

Thanks in advance!

Hopefully @Zamundaaa can give you pointers on how to test this.

Do you know how to compile Kwin?

You need to compile wayland-protocols, KWin and Mesa. There’s links on the KWin merge request.

The Mesa MR still needs some fixes to work correctly though, atm the Vulkan side is still a bit broken. So you might want to wait a bit longer with testing.

Thanks for the pointers. I’ll try to build it and see what what I get.
