Switched to 2.6.37 and this problem went away, I can enable tilling now
and see at least something.

I added a call to permit_hardware_blit after the force_tilling check and
now 720x480p videos are working even with tilling enabled. But it looks
like very small texture doesn't work at all and very large
textures/surfaces like 1280x1080 have artefacts. I will try to
investigate it a bit further.

Ok i will try it if time permits.

Where can i ask for write permission to mesa master repository?
I have some patches ready who are clearly bug fixes, or should I post
them for manual inclusion?
