Bug Description
Binary package hint: libgl1-mesa-dri
The version of the r300 DRI driver in Edgy doesn't work properly on big
endian machines like PowerBooks. It basically software fallbacks everything
due to a buglet in upstream Mesa that got fixed, but the version Edgy got
was snapshotted before the fix. I'll attach the patch to the bug.

This patch has been applied in upstream Mesa and is missing in Edgy to fix a regression causing the r300 DRI to always software fallback on big endian machines.
The patch will have no impact on little endian machines due to it's very nature of removing an ifdef :-) It should be obvious enough to be accepted for an edgy update unless there's a good reason to keep a non-working r300 dri for ppc in there.
