    I was not aware of that. I thought the other way around ... Thank You for solving my dilemma ...

    update: Today's upgrade to radeonhd-rewrite solved it ...!
    update: But only in 2.6.30. In 2.6.28-12 (with added module radeon) the problem persists ...)

      Actually they might end up both dying and getting replaced by a lean and mean driver that taps into Gallium and KMS+memory manager for about everything.

        I have DRI option. Xorg.0.log is to big to put it here ...

              Latest git is looking better already, I presume it's the effect of the clear code and not the rectangle that I'm seeing here. Still only works with radeonhd and Accelmethod None though.

                Try running it twice in a row? For me the rectangle only appears on the second run. (Since your run is quite different from what I got, would be interesting to see what the second run looks like for you)

                  So I'm not the only one confused about why work on these is being pushed instead of work on Gallium3D drivers. If you have no 3D support, and have to start from scratch, why would you start working on something which will soon need to be replaced?

                  Shouldn't 2D and 3D accel be something in progress for future (hopefully not too long) Gallium3D support?

                    Because there is a lot of enterprise/LTS distros that won't use that gallium3d thing till it tested to death, but they want 3d support for r6xx/r7xx which will be provided old classic mesa way.

                      Also the enterprise distro users won't be switched over to KMS/GEM/TTM/DRI2 for 12-18 months and we need a solution for them. Gallium3D needs DRI2 and memory management today. It could be modified to offer subset functionality without them but nobody thinks that's a good idea.

                      The questions are basically "which is less wasted effort, and which gives us a cleaner solution for the future". The answers to both of those questions seem to argue in favor of doing a 6xx-7xx classic mesa implementation for users running without GEM/TTM and not putting any extra baggage into Gallium3D.
