14:33 <Pak0st> How do you guys and girls run OpenMW? Is there some way to get S3TC textures running on Panfrost without gl4es?

14:42 <HdkR> Does gl4es have s3tc decompression or something?

14:46 <Pak0st> It must have. Without gl4es , all textures are pink.

14:47 <HdkR> Same thing should happen on Pi and other mobile GPU drivers then?

14:49 <HdkR> Since s3tc isn't required in ES space, Mali blob doesn't support the extension, so harder to trace if the feature even exists there

14:50 <HdkR> Only desktop drivers seemingly enable it in mesa :P

14:57 <Pak0st> That's the part which confuses me a bit :D There are a couple of mentions of desktop gl2 features being enabled with Panfrost so it seemed like a good idea to check instead of just assume :) Thanks, HdkR

14:59 <HdkR> s3tc was always an optional feature, even if games hard required it :)

17:40 <pp3345> got panfrost mesa+drm running on my odroid now but am experiencing heavy flickering in weston and sway - apps with some basic opengl seem to work fine though, any pointers where to start debugging?

20:29 <icecream95> Pak0st: You can tell OpenMW to decompress textures in OSG by setting OPENMW_DECOMPRESS_TEXTURES=1.

20:30 <icecream95> OSG has some quite slow decompression code (recalculating the colours in the block for each pixel),

20:31 <icecream95> so it would be nice to see decompression support added to Panfrost.

20:34 <icecream95> I'm looking at the S3TC decompression code in Mesa, and I'm not getting convinced that it's any faster than OSG...

20:37 <icecream95> gl4es at least decompresses a block at a time (https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es/blob/master/src/gl/decompress.c)

20:39 <icecream95> You might also want to set something like OPENMW_PHYSICS_FPS=15 so OpenMW isn't physics bound.
