I'm guessing this question has been asked a bunch of times, please
forgive me for asking yet again.
Is it possible to have automated regression and functional tests for
this stuff? Are machines needed with those particular cards? This
tinderbox just verifies that things compile correctly right? Not actual
functional test? (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Peter is doing the XIT (pronounced either z-it or sh-it), Blaz worked
on piglit tests, ...
What is needed for us to have an automated regression test setup? Other
than needing people to actually spend the time to write tests?
I'm actually wanting to help with this type of stuff. I think it goes
nicely with the xserver stable branch maintenance.
As always, please re-steer me if I'm out in left field,
Matt
(still on vacation, may not respond until next week but I happened to
see this and really wanted to respond.)

Its been broken in a subtlle manner thanks to Keith at
faeebead7bfcc78535757ca7acc1faf7554c03b7 which was back in the 1.8
days.
It was then noticeably broken by Daniel in
459c6da0f907ba33d733c7e62a116184ba2f14e5
the thing is the check for DRIGeneration != serverGeneration was
probably always bogus, but in the first commit it meant we never
called DRIExtensionInit internals, the second commit moved some code
into that and that broken drm module loading as the drmServer stuff
never got initialised.
Now I'm wondering what the correct form for that check should be,
since at the moment DRIGeneration is 0 and serverGeneration is 1 at
entry to that function.
Okay its not as bad as all that its just Daniel's commit that really
broken stuff, since I didn't realise ExtensionInit we called after
ScreenInit and Daniel's commit moved the drmSetServerInfo into there
when its actually needed where the module loader used to call, nice
work.
I really hope the rest of the extension init changes are as quality.
Dave.
