I've looked at these test cases a bit, but haven't made a lot of progress
yet.  The clipped polygon color problem is present in the Rage 128 driver
as well, so that may be a bug in code we borrowed from that driver.  I'm
not sure that the banding in textures is really a bug.  At 16-bit,
RGBA/RGBA8 textures use stored in an ARGB4444 format, and RGB/RGB8
textures are stored as RGB565, so there is less color information in the
textures with an alpha channel.  The test looks the same on the Rage 128
as on Mach 64.  The registration problem with the stipple test may be a
result of the conformance problems Jose mentioned.  The stippled lines are
rendered in software, so the difference in placement is likely a result of
slight errors in the coordinates on the hardware path.  I've noticed gaps
between triangles in places and some problems with texture coordinates as
well.  I think these first appeared with the Mesa 4.x merge.  Jose, I
think it would probably make sense to get your native vertex format
changes working first and then go after the conformance issues.  I need to
get familiar with the new code, I haven't had a change to really look at
it yet.
