I'm running the 2.6 prerelease series for a while on my laptop now. My first impressions: - EXA is even slower than it was with 2.4.3 - UXA is much faster - XAA not tested - 3D is horribly slow - Compiz doesn't draw window decorations due to some breakage in libdrm
If we want to use 2.5.x or 2.6 when it comes out, we have to grab a mesa snapshot from git master to get GEM support in mesa also.
As xorg-server 1.6 shouldn't be far away anymore, I think we can wait for the next stable release of mesa that has GEM support.
Just as I thought you have much more insight on this. I totally agree to stick with 2.4.x for now.
Thanks, -T
I just wanted to let the devs know that 2.4.x causes Xorg to crash with Kernel 2.6.28, so some users might have issues. It doesn't matter to me either way just wanted to let that information be known. Thanks, pyther

No problems here, 945GM G33 Q35 All work fine with xf86-video-intel 2.4.3. Are you using some special option in xorg.conf that triggers these crashes?

From what I experienced the crashes were less frequent with 2.6.28, but
No I am not. Using the latest libdrm and xf86-intel-video seems to prevent the crashes for me. See this post on the forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60570 *Post #11 reports that disabling dri prevents the freezes *OP claimed problem was solved with the kernel upgrade (2.6.28) they were still prevalent.
