Wayland and R600?

[Benjamin Franzke]

You need a newer mesa version (from git) for the
GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 error.
The DRM mode didnt work well for me with the r600 pageflipping
patches.. Maybe you have more luck.

But wayland does work good with r600 using the x11-compositor.

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:
