Comment 32 for bug 348450

hi!

Stable combination for me is these aditions to default ubuntu instalation:

mesa mesa_7_4_branch commit e9d5569bf3e5d7a78a790c144aed275f1a32f325
pthread-stubs master commit ef2431f5bdef1da9f2f7701232def164910b191b
drm master commit 68103b2758029b3c1fbfcf995baa758bfd2676de
macros master commit 21a957428aa69b03f585378dc6e70ad9f5c513c6
libXxf86vm master commit f2a1073b3027c508e01beca9ca34bbc6c90f5e6b
dri2proto master commit 66c56ab10d917e3f47f93178d7eac6430970d3c4
xf86vidmodeproto master commit 7efd16a110ea4e8a7deab405fba7e1f5ceb4add2
libXmu master commit 88bd2d387fbb068339b65506331136085082def6
xf86-video-ati master commit da58e351b6398fa18b1d9c1a57a6e49b285f610f

I think that mesa,drm and xf86-video-ati should be enough if building
for dri1 only but I have tried to build raden-rewrite + dri2 which
needs more updated packages. I couldn't yet find the commit that fixed
everything but I suspect that new drm is required too to make it all
work stable with r300 cards.

In kernel drm modules from drm git is must to have to make the latest
ddx/mesa stable. I think xorg-edgers PPA is providing new enough
package already.

PS. This settup doesn't provide redirected rendering which is required
for opengl apps to work corretly under composite window manager. RDR
is only available when using radeon-rewrite with kernel mode setting.
I couldn't make KMS work correctly in ubuntu jaunty based system so I
don't know how to test that in ubuntu. Probably easiest way to test
new driver is to use fedora rawhide livecd.
