Hi Ian, first of all I am really glad that mesa gets rid of this unmaintained driver-date stuff. It is fooling users and helps to relax maintainers. I offered a patchset for kernel-drm and libdrm in January to remove DRM driver-date and core-date. Maybe, I do a take #2 after your work is accepted in mesa master GIT. I have tested your remove-driver-date GIT branch in mesa with a linux-next kernel (next-20110405 plus drm-fixes) on a Debian/sid i386 host with a radeon RV250 (see glxinfo output below). Libdrm is Debian's 2.4.24 and xserver Debian's 1.10.1-RC1 from experimental branch. $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.39-rc1-next20110405.3-686-small (Debian 2.6.39~rc1-3~next20110405.dileks3) ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.6.1 20110329 (prerelease) (Debian 4.6.0-2) ) #1 SMP Tue Apr 5 10:52:55 CEST 2011 $ git log --pretty=short -1 commit 00b28b10f4435e64a5fe37acae8c3da773e5bb8a Author: Ian Romanick <[email protected]> mesa: Include GIT SHA1 in GL version string glxinfo now says: $ glxinfo | grep -i opengl Mesa warning: couldn't open libtxc_dxtn.so, software DXTn compression/decompression unavailable OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
