Re: dri-trunk problems
Thanks - I've hunted up some XF86Config-4's and got a little further:
Without the dri-trunk modules and packages installed, but with the video
card's onboard memory defined (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 as normal,
and entering 16384 at the appropriate prompt) DRM starts and acceleration
is enabled (according to /var/log/XFree86.0.log)
However, the mouse cursor appears as a large white rectangle and the login
screen is all messed up. I haven't got access to my personal website from
work so i can't give a screenshot. It just looks bad! Altough some things
(my desktop wallpaper and so on) look ok.
There aren't any errors in the logs so far as I can see...

Well... the three flashes are the reattempts of the X server trying to
boot. It is probably due to a misconfiguration of the server, so check
your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4... there are some available around, so check
them ;-)
And good luck!
