Bug#537732: libgl1-mesa-dri: screen goes black when running glxgears

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 7.5-1
Severity: normal


When I tried to run glxgears, I received a black screen with i-beam cursor.
I was able to switch vt's and kill glxgears, which restored the view to
vt7. I asked in #radeon on freenode about a workaround and was told:

revert # bad: [25b492b976632269dfa3de164545d50a53c090ce] 
GLX/DRI1: Mark GLX visuals with depth != screen depth non-conformant.

I have a radeon 9200SE graphics card.
