I think I have tracked this down to the DRM drivers in the kernel not matching the ones in DRI CVS. Some of the structures in the initialization IOCTL have changed which caused one of the ring pointers to initialize to zero instead of what it needed. The minor version number probably should have been bumped.
Hmm.. Even regardless of minor number bumps, this makes me worry that there is a version skew, which should be fixed.
It's just too painful if new versions of X need a very specific version of the kernel modules, or if new kernel modules don't work with old versions of X. In particular, it makes it pointless to have the DRI stuff in the standard kernel.
Yes -- if this has been broken, we need to address it.
Jon, can you do the binary search thing to try and figure out what date at least the behaviour changed? That should allow us to point the finger (in the nicest possible way) & get it fixed by the original author...
