So, I finally figured out the bug that was causing some incorrect rendering in xonotic (and, it turns out, to be the same bug plaguing a lot of other games/webgl/etc). The fix is pushed to upstream mesa master (and I guess I should probably push it to the 10.5 stable branch too). Now that xonotic renders correctly, I think I can finally call freedreno a4xx support usable:
Also, for fun, a little comparison between the ifc6540 board (snapdragon 805, aka apq8084), and my laptop (i5-4310U). Both have 1920x1080 resolution, both running gnome-shell and firefox (with identical settings). Laptop is fedora f21 while ifc6540 is rawhide), but it is quite close to an apples-to-apples comparision:
Obviously not a rigorous benchmark, so please don't read too much into the results. The intel is still faster overall (as it should be at it's size/price/power budget), but amazing that the gap is becoming so small between something that can be squeezed into a cell phone and dedicated laptop class chips.
