\"GNOME\"
\nWhile typically quite rare encountering a GPU reset under Linux in most conditions, currently if encountering one under GNOME your session gets wiped out. But thanks to a Google Summer of Code “GSoC” project this year, GNOME’s Mutter compositor is finally seeing real GPU reset recovery handling.<\/p>\n

Student developer Toluwaleke Ogundipe has been working on robust GPU reset recovery for GNOME Mutter as part of Google Summer of Code via OpenGL’s GL_EXT_robustness extension and similar infrastructure. He’s put out a lengthy blog post outlining his work thus far on GPU reset recovery for GNOME and it’s beginning to work! \n<\/p>\n

Toluwaleke has been working on the proper integration for GPU reset recovery in Mutter and has reached the point where the Mutter compositor can survive a GPU reset with the session remaining stable. Windows update correctly, input becomes responsive again, and the session not crashing or freezing.

\"GNOME<\/p>\n

But still to address is the frame-buffer recreation not being automatic yet and the desktop background being rendered incorrectly plus some residual OpenGL errors. These items and others are still being worked on before submitting a merge request for hopeful upstream integration.<\/p>\n
