It works great.

I have a redundant OS partition where I tried carefully to upgrade one step at a time. At some point I was convinced I did something wrong with config files because it seemed as the upgrade I did on the secondary OS partition was going well while staying with mesa 6.5.2-r1. When I was at the point of simple upgrade to some KDE apps I stopped going that slow and eventually I lost the direct rendering capabilities. Upgrade to mesa solved the problem. I was happy to find that the driver xf86-video-i810-2.1.0 is working fine after all (it solved resolution problem and crt output problem when in dual display). Below a list of apps I installed after the last time direct rendering worked. I wonder why any of those could ruin direct rendering. unmerge kde-base/kdemultimedia-arts-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/kdemultimedia-arts-3.5.7 emerge media-libs/libsndfile-1.0.17-r1 unmerge kde-base/kmix-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/kmix-3.5.7 emerge kde-base/kcalc-3.5.7 emerge kde-misc/krusader-1.70.1 unmerge media-video/kplayer-0.5.3 emerge media-video/kplayer-0.6.2 emerge app-portage/kuroo-0.80.2-r1 unmerge kde-base/krec-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/krec-3.5.7 emerge media-sound/audacity-1.3.2-r1 unmerge kde-base/libkdegames-3.5.1 emerge kde-base/libkdegames-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/libkdenetwork-3.5.0 emerge kde-base/libkdenetwork-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/ktnef-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/ktnef-3.5.7 unmerge net-misc/smb4k-0.6.10 emerge net-misc/smb4k-0.8.1 unmerge app-cdr/k3b-0.12.8 emerge app-cdr/k3b-0.12.17 emerge net-misc/kssh-0.7 emerge net-p2p/kmldonkey-0.10.1 unmerge net-irc/konversation-0.18 emerge net-irc/konversation-1.0.1-r3 unmerge kde-base/kruler-3.5.5 emerge kde-base/kruler-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/kuickshow-3.5.0 emerge kde-base/kuickshow-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/kolourpaint-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/kolourpaint-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/ksnapshot-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/ksnapshot-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/certmanager-3.5.2-r1 emerge kde-base/certmanager-3.5.7-r1 unmerge kde-base/libkcal-3.5.2-r1 emerge kde-base/libkcal-3.5.7-r1 emerge dev-db/kpogre-1.5.2 unmerge kde-base/kpat-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/kpat-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/libkdepim-3.5.2-r1 emerge kde-base/libkdepim-3.5.7-r1 unmerge kde-base/libkpimidentities-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/libkpimidentities-3.5.7 unmerge kde-base/kontact-3.5.2 emerge kde-base/kontact-3.5.7-r1 unmerge app-text/poppler-0.5.4-r2 emerge app-text/poppler-0.5.4-r2 unmerge app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.1-r1 emerge app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.4 <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Regards.
