Hi!

We're about to merge the texmem-0-3 branch with the Mesa trunk. This
will currently only affect the i915 driver.

To make the new i915 driver work after the merge one has to obtain the
latest xserver git, the latest xf86-video-intel git, the latest drm /
libdrm git and an updated linux agp module from
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/linux-agp-compat/

Which should work with 2.6 kernel series.

The 6.5.1 i915  3D driver will still work with these components, and
we 
have two options with the 6.5.2 i915 driver:

1) Replace the old driver. People wanting to use Mesa 6.5.2 with the
i915 driver will have to upgrade the above components.

2) Give the new driver another name, i915tex_dri.so and have a 2D
driver option to choose which driver to use. This might create a
maintainance problem but the transition will be smoother.
    

Did this change already happen?
I'm seeing below error about the non-existing i915tex_dri.so when starting X, with the the latest mesa and xf86-video-intel.

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /opt/X11R7/lib/dri/i915tex_dri.so failed (/opt/X11R7/lib/dri/i915tex_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
The git xf86-video-intel driver has been updated, but Mesa has yet to be merged.
Please use xorg option "Legacy3D" to use the old 3D driver from Mesa.
