None of these options are particularly attractive, but a simpler solution might be possible: Install the classic r300_dri.so to a different directory, and add that to the end of the default driver search path. That way libGL would try r300g first and fall back to the classic driver. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
