I'll give this particular test a try on a KM400A with whatever
drm version is in the 2.6.19 kernel (2.10.0 iirc). glxgears itself works
fine, but it was already ok with plain mesa 6.5.1.

I've already made some tests yesterday night with mesa 6.5.2 + the 2
patches on kernel 2.6.19. Mesa is not from git, but only plain 6.5.2
plus the patches, does that matter ?
I've seen the crash Benno already reported while playing (resizing,
moving, etc...) with glxgears. (via_tex.c:429: viaSwapOutWork: Assertion
`sz == vmesa->total_alloc[heap]' failed.)
GoogleEarth definitely sees an improvement (black window with the old
mesa). It's usable now but still shows some pbs (yellow/red blocks while
moving/zooming).
Some GL screensavers previews are also causing black stripes outside of
the preview window. I unfortunatly don't have the mesa demos on this
computer. I'll try with random GL games as time permit. Are there any
specific tests needed ?

Oh, and as a side note for FC6 users, the updated Mesa rpm is in the
Epia repo.
