Just to clarify, I'm not in any way against open-source drivers, and didn't meant to imply that in my post. I was just pointing out what I perceived to be a rendering issue. I did respond to Q's free-vs-closed rant, but for some reason, the forum software ate it and sent it for moderation rather than immediate posting.
To cut a long story short: I'm using r600g right now. I wouldn't do that if I didn't think the open-source driver effort was worthwhile.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAYMAN
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0

As for the compatibility problems, my understanding is that this is a problem with the Khronos group. That is, they aren't prproviding reference implementations to test against, or suites with which to test the entire API. Apparently, D3D has such tests, thus it is much easier to determine correctness.
As for why this work hasn't been done for OGL...?

but you think ironic do have a magic secret point of joke.
no in fact ironic is not a secret point of joke.
Irony:
the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. example: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
Ironic:
Happening in the opposite way to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this... (let's compare)

For those of you that have missed it, Qar is a pro troll. If I ran a site like this, I would hire one or two of them to pad the forum for additional click revenue.
Being a pro troll is easy. You simply say something completely intangible and crazy. Here's an example:
"While John Bridgman is an open source developer, his defence of the closed source catalyst binaries makes him an Uncle-Tom in the eyes of many FOSS advocates"
It's untrue, ambiguous, personal, almost looks like it makes sense, and I could write page after page of nonsense defending it. Ultimately, it is meaningless and exists only to create a post-storm of bullshit melodrama. I created a "them" and an "us" to devide participants into two groups, mixed in a racial metaphor to get one of the groups mad, and did it all in a single sentence that pretends to make sense. The only downfall is that the spelling and grammer (while not totally correct) is way too good, so I cannot play the "you misunderstood me" card later in an effort to keep the argument going.
JB, nothing personal, this was just a demonstration on how someone would go about trolling the forum. You're not an uncle tom, mainly because it's impossible as we don't have slavery any more. Secondly because IP isn't actual "property". Thirdly, because it makes no sense whatsoever and you're white.... It's complete rubish and I feel bad for writing it, even if it is only to show people how to troll.
