git repos, r600g prerequites

git repos, r600g prerequites

[Marius Gröger]

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.

Just a quick follow-up: current drm git trees and 2.6.37-1 from ubuntu 
kernel-ppa don't work, glxgears crashes horribly including an instant 
system reset. 2.6.36 from kernel-ppa does work.
