Conformant OpenGL® ES 3.1 drivers are now available for M1- and M2-family GPUs. That means the drivers are compatible with any OpenGL ES 3.1 application.

Our reverse-engineered, free and open source graphics drivers are the world’s only conformant OpenGL ES 3.1 implementation for M1- and M2-family graphics hardware. That means our driver passed tens of thousands of tests to demonstrate correctness and is now recognized by the industry.

Why did we pursue standards conformance when the manufacturer did not? Above all, our commitment to quality. We want our users to know that they can depend on our Linux drivers. We want standard software to run without M1-specific hacks or porting.

    An amazing accomplishment and a real feather in the cap for Rust.

    When are we going to see this incorporated into the mainline kernel?

      Traces of the Rust work gets merged in every version. They come in small pieces, and now the next version has even more abstractions that are needed for the M1 GPU driver to eventually get there.
