I used mesa from the intel-2008-q4 branch, Xserver 1.5.3, the drm-intel
2.6.28 kernel and a libdrm from git somewhere after 2.4.3.

I have slow 3D which looks like software rendering in googlemaps,
quake3 and neverball, and glxgears also doesn't look that smooth.  But
glxinfo reports "direct rendering".

I didn't see that with the drm-intel kernel.

glxgears shows a black screen with some sproradic coloured artifacts. I
tried to use other 3D apps with EXA (neverball, quake3) but they froze
the Xserver.
