Bug#406373: xserver-xorg-video-ati: [ia64] No direct rendering w/ Radeon R300 [FireGL X1]

["Stillwell, Bryan" <bryan.stillwell@hp.com>]

Hi Brice,

I'm currently using version 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-5 of xserver-xorg-core with
the workaround.  I haven't tried the 6.6.192 version of
xserver-xorg-video-ati yet, but I don't see how it would help since
libdri.so is part of the xserver-xorg-core package...  Has the 2560x2560
limitation been fixed yet?  Because even with the workaround, I haven't
been using OpenGL because I can't use it on my full 3200x1200 desktop.

So it sounds like there are three bugs here...  Direct rendering wasn't
working because my agp driver (hp-agp) wasn't loaded (fixed, doh!), the
PCI domain wasn't being used properly causing the second monitor not to
work properly with direct rendering (work-around needed), and the driver
only accelerates 2560x1200 of my 3200x1200 real estate (might be fixed
in 6.6.192)...

Next week I'll give the experimental driver a try and see if the
acceleration limit has been removed, but for now we should keep this bug
open to track the progress of the pci-domain+direct rendering problem.
Is there anything wrong with the work-around that would prevent debian
from using it in their packages?
