Double buffering fail on r500 dri

[TechMage89]

I'm trying to install xserver from git now. Hello, dependency hell!

[hobbes]

I'm having this very same issue using Debian Sid.

This are my packages:

xserver-xorg-core:
Instalado: 2:1.4.99.906-1
Candidato: 2:1.4.99.906-1
Tabela de vers?o:
*** 2:1.4.99.906-1 0
1 http://ftp.debian.org experimental/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

libgl1-mesa-dri:
Instalado: 7.1-1
Candidato: 7.1-1
Tabela de vers?o:
*** 7.1-1 0
1 http://ftp.debian.org experimental/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

did anyone workaround this issue?

Please let me know.

You must use xserver from git (or wait for final 1.5 release) with Mesa-7.1 or use 7.1 RC3 with xserver-1.4.99.906.

This is not true.
The actual version of xserver-xorg-core in experimental is
2:1.4.99.906-2 and work without problem with mesa 7.1 final.

Debian is really fast with those patched packages.

Indeed, I just checked on this site and it says 2:1.4.99.906-2 as the newest version.

But, I can not get this package! Only 2:1.4.99.906-1.

Would you mind to share your experimental repositories with us?

Thanks for reading.

Nevermind, I just noticed that there is no 2:1.4.99.906-2 package to amd64 SID.

On R500 use the radeon (git master), NOT the radeonhd driver.

On R500 use the radeon (git master), NOT the radeonhd driver.

I Just did that and also git clone Mesa/drm but the problem persists.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just an update.

Problem solved.
