Not if Mesa-6.5.2 exhibits the weird doubling of coordinates problem 
(smearing the viewport all over the screen when the window is 
moved).  Since then not much was changed in the unichrome part of 
Mesa.

Which ones?  How are you testing this?

I've just now run xscreensaver-demo and Cubenetic produces an 
interesting effect: temporary scratches all over the screen, as 
with atmospheric disturbances on a tv.

Moving the windows, basically, checking that everything stays inside 
them and moves in unison.
