Ouch! Now, I don't know if this happened after the kernel update to 26-2.6.32.2-1 or if it just happened tonight with the drm update and then downgrade. I can't think of any reason the upgrade/downgrade would have done it unless pacman left pieces of something on the system.
Regardless, compiz is unusable now. I know for a fact it was working last week (slow with the radeon driver, but working). Anybody else see a change in direct rendering with the latest kernel? What else to check?
I don't know what you did exactly, but to make things clear: We're back on stable versions without experimental code. This means there's no 3D support for some newer ATI hardware, but at least the 2D is stable and usable. You're on the Mesa software rasterizer now, which does everything in software. Compiz will be painfully slow with that.
Err, yep slow is a nice way to put it. The question is how do I get back to the usable 2D hardware setup? Should I set KMS back up? I'm up to date with all packages except the mesa/drm/libgl packages I just downgraded 1 version. Everything was great before the update today and the drm snafu. What's the best way to get back to the config I had 24 hours ago? I took /var/log/pacman.log and backed out all updates except the kde & gnome printer control center modules (I can't see them being related), but I'm still not back to where I was before the updates.
