New Mesa Fixes UXA/DRI2 Transparency Issues [Ubuntu] |

Jaunty just got a new package of Mesa 7.4, and it fixes a long-standing bug in DRI2/UXA (it was there back before UXA was even impelemented) where transparent windows that didn't already set a suitable RGBA colormap appeared corrupt because they had overvalued pixels (so stuff appeared white when it shouldn't have). It's finally been fixed!
I'm sure there were other things fixed and updated in this release, too, but I don't actually know what they are, so I can't talk about them.

| Last I checked, it was mesa issues in Intel that caused it; if you're getting the issue on Radeon, something else may be to blame. |

| I got dri2 and compiz working with radeon, though I still (or rather just) have the transparency issue. Do you happen to know which commit(s) fixed this issue? Maybe it is just because airlied hasn't yet added the fix to radeon-rewrite. |

| I haven't been able to get UXA to run on my two Minis, and that should have the same 950 chipset, so I don't know. |

| Hi!
Just got an EEE PC 900. I was going to get the Mini 9, but it's too $$$ and they don't ship with Ubuntu here. The EEE PC has XP on it for the moment - but I want to see if there is a way to back up that install (I don't like losing XP installs, since I don't actually have an install disc), and which distribution to throw on there. It's got a GMA950 in it, is this any good for testing out KMS/UXA/DRI2? |
