Mesa developer Dylan Baker announced the release of Mesa 24.3.1, a bug-fix release for the latest stable release of the Linux open source graphics drivers. No new features, since those will come with the first release of Mesa 25 next year. For those still on Mesa 24.2, you should now be good to upgrade.

Here's the noted bug fix highlights:

  • zink: zink_create_quads_emulation_gs doesn’t write primitive ID.
  • regression;bisected: c49a71c03c9166b0814db92420eadac74cbc4b11 leads to artifacts if on top of launched game (in full screen mode) show list running apps (Hold Alt + Tab).
  • black screen and “Failed to add framebuffer” error in wayland compositors when not filtering dmabuf formats with ccs modifiers on intel graphics when upgrading to mesa 24.3.0.
  • nir: nir_opt_if_merge_test fails validation with NIR_DEBUG=validate_ssa_dominance.
  • radv: Vulkan AV1 video decode glitches.
  • Firestorm crashes on startup with Mesa 24.3.

Reminder on upcoming Mesa releases for you:

  • 2024-12-18 - 24.3.2
  • 2025-01-01 - 24.3.3
  • 2025-01-15 - 24.3.4
  • 2025-01-29 - 24.3.5
  • 2025-02-12 - 24.3.6 (the last one for this series)

Curious if this will fix the graphical issues with The Asus Tuf Gaming A16 (FA617-NT) Advantage Edition. It has a Mux switch for an AMD 780 iGPU and RX 7700 dGPU. Whenever the iGpu is in use, you get weird flickering in every linux distro I've tried. (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora 42 and even OpenSuse)

Quote* Firestorm crashes on startup with Mesa 24.3.
Unfortunately not only does Firestorm still appear to crash on start with amd graphics/Mesa (unless you're using Hadet's flatpak because it still uses Mesa 24.2.5), but just about every other Second Life viewer does too. Currently running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
