Thanks. My idea was to give the test versions some testing before the
release (I'm also a registered tester for the Intel driver).  As the
prerquisites started to become more strict with 2.5 (libdrm) and seem
to be even tighter with 2.6, I think they should be mentioned in more
detail in such announcements. Also some information about the the
features and what hardware (UXA?) or kernel (KMS?) versions are
required would be nice.

Well, I just tried 2.5.99.2 together with 2.6.28 and Xserver 1.5.3 on
i945GM.

Result:

1. glxgears mostly shows a black window, with some coloured artifacts when
I move the window

2. starting googleearth freezes the GUI, only the mouse pointer is still
moving

3. starting quake3 freezes the GUI

I can't see any messages about this in Xorg.0.log or in the kernel log.
I need to reboot to restore the screen after 2. and 3.
