⚠️ Automated build from Mesa main: checked by CI, not tested on a device.

❌ A8xx didn't build this run, so it isn't included.

Which one?

• X11 (Bannerlator, Winlator, BannerHub, any AdrenoTools app): import the normal zip as a GPU driver. Not sure which driver? Use Standard.
• Bannerlator Wayland containers: Import Wayland game driver (.zip), then pick the -Wayland zip.
• Bannerlator Linux runtime (gamescope + the native ARM64 Steam client): the -Linux zip. It is a glibc Vulkan ICD and it is what draws the client and every game the client launches (needs glibc 2.38 or newer). It is not an AdrenoTools driver and it does not load in a Wine container; the Android zip still puts the finished frame on the screen.

Tips: A8xx: TU_DEBUG=sysmem if an A830 looks glitchy, TU_DEBUG=deck_emu if a game won't start. A710 / A720 / A722: TU_DEBUG=sysmem (in Winlator also WRAPPER_BLIT=1). 8 Gen 2 One UI: only if the Standard driver makes the phone's UI glitch or flicker; on other 8 Gen 2 devices it causes that glitch. The same switch without changing driver: FD_DEV_FEATURES=enable_tp_ubwc_flag_hint=1.

🩹 Fixes in every driver (both found here, both now in Mesa main since MR 44838, 2026-10-08; see SOURCE):

• DirectX 12 no longer waits on the GPU every frame. A quick "is the GPU done yet?" check was sent to the kernel as "wait until it's done", so the CPU and GPU took turns with VKD3D-Proton. Now it answers at once. On an Adreno 750, a DirectX 12 demo went from 378 to 1422 fps on X11 and from 588 to 3449 fps on Wayland (report). Mesa credits The412Banner for the find.
• No crash when a frame waits on two kinds of sync at once. Cemu crashed on its first frame; proven fixed with Cemu, RPCS3 and Dolphin.

🧩 A8xx driver only: Max's WinNative series (MaxsTechReview, 0001-tu-Emulate-VK_EXT_mesh_shader-with-compute.patch … 0005-tu-kgsl-Fetch-A8XX-command-streams-through-a-virtual.patch). The A6xx / A7xx drivers carry no patches: both fixes above come from Mesa itself.

• DirectX 12 Ultimate: mesh shaders + wave32 (0001, 0002). VK_EXT_mesh_shader is emulated with compute, so VKD3D-Proton can offer mesh shaders to games that need them (FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, Alan Wake 2); render passes with mesh draws run in sysmem.
• Three Adreno 8xx GPU hang fixes (0003-0005): cube-map directions, bindless descriptors, command-stream memory. Max's IB cache (0006) is left out: it broke the Linux driver on some Adreno 840s.
