Aye, got epoxy (also kicking myself for not just checking the 1.16 git branch to see what is maturing in there. Oh well, trying to fix that has been on hold for a few weeks anyway). That commit from upstream fixed it for me. I get the sense that glamor is going to become more prevalent in time, and the current direction drivers are going for for acceleration. At least for my use case, I need it (radeonsi). Not sure how mature the intel support of it is though. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
