It would be great to get others to test as well. To do so,

1) patch libdrm using this patch.
2) rebuild libdrm, and at least mesa-7.2, xorg-server-1.5.3
3) patch your kernel (-29_rc series preferably) with patch in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10893
4) startx

Done. Applied the kernel patch and the DRM patch and installed mesa 7.3 and xserver 1.5.3.

Had the xserver up and going with gnome desktop on my ev67 alpha. Seems to be working fine.

Nice to see glxinfo return lots of info, and glxgears actually run without locking up. But I only got 200 whatevers per second with glxgears. I recall that it use to do 400. Makes me wonder if I am really getting hardware acceleration. This is with a Radeon 9200 (RV280) graphics card.

Cheers
Michael.
