Can I point out that
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20816 and its dependencies are
the appropriate bugs for the issue? Not that I want to discourage mailing
list comment, or anything, but merely to point any relevant people at what's
already been done, and what hasn't.
I'm hoping, sometime within the next month or two, to be temporarily
in a position where I can at least do some testing on this; I'll have access
to a dual NVidia/SiS system that I can install random stuff on.
Thanks all for your time...
