I'm working on the new MESA release today. Please don't -Syu until all 3D drivers have been rebuild properly. If you have trouble with your card catch me in out IRC channels. -Andy

So far no ddx driver rebuild seems required. I'm running the new MESA on my Ati X200m(R300) notebook with the new gallium driver. It renders well (was broken since KMS+classic mesa useage) but very slowly. Maybe we can imrove this. My desktop is running Nouveau and Supertuxkart is fast and really usable now. A big step forward. Please test the all driver. Usually even a minor libdrm bump breaks the drivers. Give feedback. -Andy

I discoverd today that fusion-icon won't run with the new update, because of the missing glxinfo. This program is now located under "mesa-demos". fusion-icon complains about the missing glxinfo and won't start, so install "mesa-demos" manually at the moment. @fusion-icon maintainer: Should be added as a depend to the package or at least a note should be posted to that. -Daniel

please file a bug report next time so it does not get lost. On a related note, it can't be fixed before the python2 move as otherwise this fix will move to community before mesa moves to extra with the python2 move. Ronald

Next time I will file a bug report. That it must wait for the python2 move that's no problem. The main reason for posting this mail was that it was not mentioned that glxinfo was separated into an extra package. The notice for you was just a side note. Daniel

Honestly, can this decision to split the package be explained a bit more? I feel like we've gone a little overboard on doing some of these splits. Saving 405K from a package (installed, while only 80K on the download!) seems silly for the number of "where did my glx* tools go" and "I installed mesa but don't have glx*" questions that are going to arise now, especially from long-time Arch users. -Dan

It was in a separate package for some time in the past, then merged into mesa again. I agree with Dan here.

Mesa-demos are now distributed with a different version number in a separate tarball. It has it's own maintainer and is developed independently from main mesa sources for a while now. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2010-July/001295.html -Andy
