How about: The DRI2 changes seem to break the video driver ABI, and apparently Mesa without corresponding changes (which will only be in the upcoming 7.5 release) as well. See Brice Goglin's report from a couple of days ago. You rejected backports before based on breaking ABI. Don't get me wrong, I like the functionality those DRI2 changes fix, but surely they could have been done without breaking about every binary interface involved. If the video driver ABI won't be restored, this should be reflected by bumping its major version, and the changes breaking it should wait for the next major release like other such changes. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
