    Hrm, while trying to put together a bug report, I narrowed it down to R600_STREAMOUT. Resetting that gave me GL 2.1 again and everything works now.

    Older Mesa versions worked fine, and reported GL 3.0.

I'm running the vanilla 3.3 kernel and don't remember now whether that has tiling patches in it, so it COULD be a different bug (see also http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...356#post254356).

    Any suggestions for where to start looking for problems?
    Again open bugs, attach api trace of problematic gl application, or provide a use case with open source gl application, gave GPU version and all Xorg / kernel log revealent.

    and dmesg starts to sprout the invalid command stream errors...
    Well you obviously have something wrong on your side, probably not using the correct kernel, or not using correct mesa ... I extensively tested all this on GPU from HD2xxx to HD6xxx so i know it works with many GL applications for a fact, if you can't even get gears or nexuiz going there is something wrong on your side.

    Btw. what about OpenVG/OpenGL ES benchmarks? Are they possible?
    (g-truc.net called MESA best desktop OpenGL ES implementation , so it's good excuse for some benchmark right? )
    I'm not sure what he'd use for benchmarking since I can't think of any desktop software that uses OVG.

    When will this hit Fedora?

    Right now, in Fedora 17 it says "ColorTiling2D is not a valid option".

    I noticed the comparison was no tiling v. 2d tiling. 1d tiling was already a substantial improvement over linear mode.

    Maybe if you will let him place some ads in the bug report LOL
