[Mesa-dev] [Bug 28433] Mesa DRI Intel 845G GEM and Mesa DRI R200 Drivers returning artifacts in textures

[Jane Doe]

Hi, the Mesa DRI Intel(R) 845G driver has been working fine for over 5 years until the GEM thing started showing up. Is this just a coincidence? Is this Graphics Execution Manager not reverse-compatible with the huge installed-base out there? Is there some workaround that can be done in OpenGL? Do I now have to verify every texture somehow to be certain its not going to look messed-up on some driver? Since they reassigned this to this group I should mention I've seen this sort of thing also happen with the Mesa DRI R200 20090101 1.3 Mesa 7.5-devel driver before, but I just assumed Fedora was using everybody as test-monkeys for Redhat...
