I think it would be better to install libglamor.so in the normal lib
directory. Can you submit a glamor patch or bug report for that?


But, this is rather interesting news: So far the assumption has been
that glamor cannot work at all with current xserver. However, I cannot
reproduce the problem I reported a while ago even with xserver 1.13.0,
let alone newer versions, though I still can with the pre-1.13 Git
snapshot I reported the problem for. Apparently the problem was fixed
before the final 1.13.0 release. Was I really the only one who ever
tried this, and everyone else just took my word for it? :\
