    And right after:

    Please ignore this, there are some issues with this patch undetected by
    piglit.

    I suspect it's something similar to the hw bug discussed here recently:

        I am curious, how many spots like this, there are in r600g at the moment.

            Well, AMD could host farm of GPU's of various generations/configs. With some automated tools that would allow previlaged devs to submit patches to test performance/piglit regresions.

            QA would also had easier time (if dev's could detect bad code earlier).


            Great idea, so why its not already done?

              Or Stop developing the Driver in the Kernel Tree. For an user its much more easy to update an out of tree kernel module. To tell an user he has to recompile his kernel is is a mess.

                Yes, now it is an even nicer patch, as it in total removes 24 lines from the driver

                Thanks for the link.

                  From what I recall, they don't have such resources to spare. Though who knows, maybe the situation has changed.

                  Not for Gentoo users it isn't!
