Mesa 7.5-r1 has some issues with Radeon cards when using DRI1. Notably, glxgears blanks the screen, and VirtualBox causes all the colors to screw up. There's a patch in Mesa git that fixes these problems: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?h=mesa_7_5_branch&id=5ed440400573631f540701f3efd479d8c1592007 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mesa-7.5-r1 on a system with a Radeon (<=R500) card. 2. Run glxgears. Actual Results: Screen blanks. Expected Results: glxgears should show up.
Okey revbumped to -r2. Applied all upstream patches since the 7.5 tag.
