        <pre>This commit disabled glamor on pre-R600:
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=fa83d3d1636c315bc43dd622d407eb058e3ef976">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=fa83d3d1636c315bc43dd622d407eb058e3ef976</a>

I reverted it and tried glamor on my RV530. It's working fine, only having some
corruption with Xv on some video (same as <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW --- - xv playback on glamor shows wrong colors"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=72821">bug #72821</a> or <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW --- - screen corruption with XVideo output in VLC"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=74811">bug #74811</a> reported for
other chipsets), also gtkperf is slower on Lines and Circles (I'll try again
when the 36 patches posted on glamor ML get merged), while other gtkperf tests
are the same.

Also according to glamor source it just needs OpenGL 1.3:
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/glamor/tree/src/glamor.c#n311">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/glamor/tree/src/glamor.c#n311</a>

So it's working at least fine as >= R600 here, then please consider re-enabling
it for R500 at least (the default should still be EXA anyway), it can be useful
for testing or when EXA has problems.</pre>
