Hi,

I am trying to run Wayland on an Arch Linux system with kernel 2.6.38 and Mesa 
git. The system has an AMD R600 card, which, according to the Wayland FAQ, 
doesn't work yet due to the driver not supporting page flipping, but as that 
changed for kernel 2.6.38 [1], I figured that it might work now. However, 
trying to start the Wayland compositor fails:

[root@test compositor]# ./compositor 
failed to create context
failed to create context
failed to initialize egl
failed to create compositor

I passed the same arguments to Mesa's autogen.sh as described on the Wayland 
page, except for omitting --enable-gallium-r600 (thus using the RI driver). 
When I _do_ try to pass that too, however, I get an error that 
GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 is not supported.

So before potentially wasting my time any further: does Wayland work with R600 
cards by using the newest the 2.6.38 kernel and the newest Mesa?

Regards,
Denis

P.S.: How about a list on the webpage of graphic cards known to work with 
Wayland (including minimally required kernel / drm / mesa / etc. versions?)
