Hi,

I find the various git repositories for drm sometimes a little confusing. For example, what is the difference between d-n and d-c-n? Maybe it would be a good idea to fill out the gitweb information for each each repository. Currently they all report "Unnamed repository; edit this file to name it for gitweb."

I'm asking because I want to know which repo would be suited best to try r600g. I'm on an RS780G and have the xorg-edgers X and mesa packages, x86_64. About half a year ago

LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR=/usr/lib/dri/gallium glxgears

used to work, but for a while know this will instantly and horribly corrupt the screen, crash the system, and reboot. So I would like to make sure I'm using the right drm base for my experiments. I would also be interested in any other prerequites r600g requires.

TIA Marius

Best is to use mesa master repository. And kernel 2.6.36 or newer, the other drm kernel tree are mostly to fix issues and are interesting if you are facing one of those issues or just want to help in testing drm.
