Test build. Not a normal release. Turnip for the Adreno 722, built from plain upstream Mesa plus one fix. No device register patches.
- Mesa main
1d4b5ef4a5562b6e2dba2cb5aacd60787979ba86(2026-11-01). The A722 support is Mesa's own: MR 43101 "freedreno: Add chip support for a722" (Sahitya Kandru). - The one fix: newer Qualcomm grallocs (seen on the Retroid Pocket Duo, Android 14) no longer put the
gmsmmarker in their buffer handles. Upstream then treats compressed (UBWC) buffers as uncompressed and the picture is scrambled in Bannerlator's Wayland mode. The fix keeps the old check and adds a strict second one (buffer format and aligned width must match) that reads the compression flag from the newer handle layout. whitebelyash's earlier patch found the same problem; on this handle layout it reads a different field, so it is replaced here. Patch:patches/a722/01-u_gralloc-newer-qcom-handle.patch. - Also for the Adreno 710 and 720: this build has Mesa's own support for both (MR 44466 "freedreno: Add support for Adreno 710 and 720", Hugo223, 2026-09-23, with register values captured from the Qualcomm driver), like every other GPU Mesa supports. Not tested on a 710 or 720 (no device here). The gralloc fix only acts on handles with the Duo's newer layout; any other handle is treated exactly as in plain Mesa. Use GMEM off there too.
- Not included: the A722 register block from Vauzi-17/710 (
patches/a710-720.py). Our tests gave the same results without it (below). - Files:
A722(AdrenoTools: Bannerlator, Winlator and other apps that import driver zips),A722-Wayland(Bannerlator Wayland containers),A722-Linux(Bannerlator Linux runtime). - Driver name in the app: "Mesa Turnip A722 test pre1".
- Use GMEM off (sysmem). With GMEM on, Turnip has an open bug on the A722 (green blocks, GPU page faults). It happens with every Turnip build we tried, the patched ones included.
Tested on a Retroid Pocket Duo (Adreno 722, Android 14) in Bannerlator, A722 file only:
- AIO Graphics Test, 10 s screen recording: 891 frames, 0 with green blocks or a scrambled picture, 0 GPU faults, 0 crashes.
- AIO per-API cube test, 15 s each, GMEM off (fps): Vulkan 1512, OpenGL 1188, D3D12 1726, D3D11 1855, D3D10 1881, D3D9 2140, D3D8 2124, DirectDraw 1175. The same as builds with the Vauzi block, within run-to-run noise (about 5 %).
- DiRT Showdown: plays fine.
- 7,638 Vulkan CTS tests (same Mesa and fix, lab build): 0 failures, 0 GPU faults.
Not tested: the Wayland and Linux files, Switch emulators, other Adreno 722 devices. Early preamble is on for every Adreno 7xx in Mesa, the A722 included; a reported problem with it on the A720 has not been checked here.
Vauzi's latest release is v4.5 (2026-10-25). Everything below comes from its release notes, its driver files and its build workflow.

Built by CI run 41326558709 (dry run; Android, Wayland and Linux jobs green, all zip checks passed; the release job stops by design in a single-driver dry run) from branch feat/a722-pure (831e015e). Only the driver name and package version in meta.json were changed afterwards.
