        Why do you want to do that?

          security control.

          as i am not a hardcore X-org developer, i do not know whether it is possible for background daemon to access DRI

          So to be safe, i want to ensure no access.

          Section "DRI"
          Group "video"
          Mode 0660
          EndSection

            • Thank you!

              Thank you for these packages I was looking for packages with patent-covered features (in Europe, or at least in Italy, there aren't legal problems with them) since months. On my AMD Radeon 6570 there aren't problems currently, in my free time I will try to do some tests (even on other GPUs, I have got also a couple of Intel GPUs and one or two nVidia GPUs).

              • 12.04 mesa packages

                Mesa packages for Ubuntu 12.04 are ready, I'll push them once the i965 driver is fixed to properly build due to recent build changes.

                  Building a driver twice with different patches it's not easy, hopefully tiling patches will be merged soon, while hiz is too experimantal and probably doesn't apply since the patches are quite old.

                      No, see /usr/share/doc/libgl1-mesa-dri/changelog.gz for current PPA changes.
