Howdy, since the document drop and all the hard work thereafter, I'm nearly 90% satisfied with the open source driver.
Right now my biggest issue is that if I use mesa from git (specifically a newer r300_dri.so), I get:
when X.org starts. However, glxinfo says direct rendering works, and I get all the benefits of working OpenGL. Of course as AIGLX isn't able to hook in, Compiz doesn't work. If I use an older r300_dri.so I get AIGLX to work, but glxinfo says direct rendering is not enabled. OpenGL seems to work, but its not as fast / reliable due to the older mesa driver.
I know the solution is to rebuild my X server against the newer mesa tree, which sadly I am unable to do. I keep getting:
Just wondering if any devs out there had a solution, or if Debian was planning a binary release of a newer X server. I'm stuck running 1.4.1~git20080131-1, but in the past month there have been some massive changes.
Besides the above issue, my only qualm with the OSS driver is speed.
