SteamVR Experimental Graphics

PPA description

Experimental drivers to help test new features related to SteamVR.

All packages in this PPA are considered alpha grade. Expect quirks and limitations.

They are provided as-is without warranty of any kind. You have been warned.

This PPA provides no significant benefit to Ubuntu 22.04. The kernel build currently contains some minor performance optimizations that are nice to have, but it is not required.

Kernel bits:

sudo apt install linux-generic-steamvr-22.04

Vulkan bits:

sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

Move/remove /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json to make sure SteamVR uses the AMD gpu. This may need to be redone on every mesa update.

sudo mv /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json.disabled

Package status:
libdrm: Bumping as needed for mesa
linux: Following Ubuntu mainline
linux-firmware: Following Ubuntu non-LTS as needed
llvm-toolchain: Targeting latest point release
mesa: Targeting latest point release

---

Removal:

Reboot onto a mainline kernel (or manually remove the PPA kernel afterwards)
