Bug#550977: memory corruption with the radeon dri driver

[Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>]

Hi,

Dave Airlie spotted some bugs in the radeon dri driver in mesa, that
might explain the memory (and filesystem) corruption you have been
seeing.

Packages including his fixes for these bugs are available in
experimental, could you please install libgl1-mesa-dri and
libgl1-mesa-glx from there (version 7.7-1), and see if the corruption is
still reproducible?

If this is fixed, there is still a bug in the kernel (it should have
rejected the commands sent by mesa instead of corrupting memory), but
it's a step in the right direction. :)

Thanks,
Julien
