Comment 3 for bug 715939

I should have mentionned the tests were done using latest Mesa from git, libdrm 2.4.23 (needed by both latest xserver-xorg-video-ati and Mesa) and that I can boot under kernels 2.6.35.11, 2.6.36.3, 2.6.37 and 2.6.38-rc4. Kernel 2.6.37 was used for testing. As you can see in the screenshots, when building my package with the 101_select_between_classic_and_gallium_dri.patch, some shadows were not rendered correctly (what can't be seen is the fact the tests were choppy). Without that patch, everything is fine in terms of rendering (shadows) and performances.

Option "ForceGallium" "True" has been added in xorg.conf.
