There are two things to consider: u_format.csv description for depth stencils is a bit special for practical reasons, and pipe_sampler_view swizzles.
Several functions in u_format_xxx.c need to be able to read/write stencil, and this is why u_format.csv describes depth stencil's swizzles as producing Z S x x. But the stencil channel will never be present when the texture is read as RGBA tuple. Sampling from a depthstencil texture should always produce Z Z Z 1 or Z 0 0 1, even before any sampler swizzles are applied. I think Brian documented this somewhere in gallium/docs/ but I can't find it now. At any rate, provided the first channel has z, then the state tracker will specify how he wants the other channels to be filled in the pipe_sampler_view' swizzles. Effectively, the gallium spec could say that sampling from depth textures should match (Z x x x). This is my understanding of the current state. We could polish this more a little.

So at the moment in gallium if we are writing to depth via DrawPixels, we construct a fragment program that samples from a texture. TEX OUT[0].z, IN[1], SAMP[0], 2D Now from what I can see the format we pick to sample from is Z24_UNORM_S8_USCALED, which from the u_format.csv file seems to say it will put the results into X and Y components. Now if we sample from the X and Y components and the texture dest writemask is Z, I can't see how any value arrives in the right place. It seems to work but I'm a bit lost where the magic is. I'd have expected there to be swizzles in the sampler but I can't see them being set to anything special either.
