R500 Mesa Is Still No Match To An Old Catalyst Driver

[whizse]

I can only test ATI 4550, i doubt R700 has got GLSL, i do NOT own a R500 card anyway, why should i test it?

As I mentioned previously, LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1. Yes, it's dead slow, but you'll notice if the GLSL compiler barfs on it or not.

It works with that override, 2 fps only however. And what do you learn from that?

It means that the shaders work with the Mesa GLSL parser/compiler.

It's no guarantee that individual Mesa drivers won't have bugs, but it's at least an indication that the shaders are okay and the problem you were having could be a bug in fglrx.
