s3tc is fixed on r600/r600g with the third party Library.

What is "the third party Library"?

I'm trying to get StarCraft II to run on this hardware:

$ glxinfo | egrep -i render|vendor direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV610 GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_AMD_draw_buffers_blend,

Look for libtxc_dxtn in your distributions non-free or contrib section. Hopefullly the patent issues will get cleared up & the library will then be merged into mesa proper.
