Wayland and R600?

[denisw at online.de]

Hi,

I am trying to run Wayland on an Arch Linux system with kernel 2.6.38 and Mesa git. The system has an AMD R600 card, which, according to the Wayland FAQ, doesn't work yet due to the driver not supporting page flipping, but as that changed for kernel 2.6.38 [1], I figured that it might work now. However, trying to start the Wayland compositor fails:

[root at test compositor]# ./compositor 
failed to create context
failed to create context
failed to initialize egl
failed to create compositor

I passed the same arguments to Mesa's autogen.sh as described on the Wayland page, except for omitting --enable-gallium-r600 (thus using the RI driver). When I _do_ try to pass that too, however, I get an error that GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 is not supported.

So before potentially wasting my time any further: does Wayland work with R600 cards by using the newest the 2.6.38 kernel and the newest Mesa?

Regards,
Denis

P.S.: How about a list on the webpage of graphic cards known to work with Wayland (including minimally required kernel / drm / mesa / etc. versions?)
