Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 7.4-2
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I got this newest version this morning. Firstly, my compliments to the developers. GLXgears performance jumped from around 800 to around 1200 frames per second! However, it has trashed compiz on powerpc/radeon (r200/9200). I get the dreaded white screen and have had to disable compiz completely. There is a newer version of compiz (0.8.2-2), but it has for some reason only been released to amd64, and the developer gave me an earful when I asked why it had not been passed on to other architectures, saying that it was up to the build system. Clearly something has gone wrong with this, as this has not happened over a month later. I have EXA enabled instead of XAA in my xorg.conf.
I would suggest this, then - the interaction of xorg 7.4 and its acceleration architecture has broken compiz, but this may not be the case with the newest version of compiz. Until the developer and the build team talk to each otehr and sort this out we will never know. Good thing it doesn't make my system unusable, just ugly.
With best wishes,
Adam Bartley

Ok, closing the bug then, thanks.

Your driver does not support DRI2 yet. Only the intel driver does so
far. The warning is expected then, nothing to worry about.
