Blender problems

[Almindor]

I'm using the .30 kernel with latest dev versions of radeon driver (mesa and all). Everything works nice except Blender which has some issues with the menu items. I get them all blank in the main menu, no text. Is this a known issue?

Yes, it has been reported in http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21774 but there is not much progress on it. With DRI1 I get the black menus, with DRI2 I get no menus at all. I think the DRI2 case is the same on intel.

According to the bug link you posted this has been fixed. I read all the comments but am unsure in which part was the bug..

What do I need from trunk to get this fixed? The xorg driver, the libdrm or mesa? I really want to get back to blending

The fix is in mesa trunk. Not sure if it got fixed in 7.5 branch, or if the fix was even identified.
