It's good to know it can be reproduced.

I just figured out that I had an old pkgconfig file libdrm.pc, which
reported version 2.3.0 - this in turn disabled DRI_MM when running
configure in the intel ddx driver directory. I only found out this
while trying a debug patch and wondered why it (inside DRI_MM ifdef)
didn't display anything.

After fixing the libdrm.pc and rebuilding intel driver, I got TTM working.

Yeah, TTM didn't help with getting Compiz to work, and it did not
remove the error message when running with AIGLX disabled. But it did
help on that other problem so that the one problematic commit does not
need to be reverted anymore, ie. glxgears is fully drawn in any window
size, as are other 3D applications which happen to work.

Getting TTM to work is fine, though I'd have hoped it'd have fixed
more problems :)
