I'm assuming that's the reason my display is garbled after the last update?

Originally posted by tormod View PostWe now also have gallium packages in the main xorg-edgers PPA. The way it works here is a bit different than the radeon gallium PPA: The normal libgl1-mesa-dri contains only the classic mesa drivers. The libgl1-mesa-dri-gallium is an extra, optional package with gallium drivers. The libGL search path is set up so that the gallium drivers are loaded if the -gallium package is installed (Robert's clever idea).
Note that the -gallium package in xorg-edgers also ship nouveau and intel gallium drivers.
I tested it on my Core Duo and found no regression wrt to classic swrastg, and it is indeed a *lot* faster, as noticed by phoronix articles:

It might be even the reason llvmpipe renders garbage as is in this article: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=ODIxMw
That's the usual price for testing non-stable branches.
