Mesa 7.11 Release Candidate 1 Arrives

It should be enough if your kernel has CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y.

Yes, the option is enabled.

then it doesn't work.

Right. With only 1 power state the file is disabled. But you could still enable it if you wanted. Just move these 3 lines:

If you try this be prepared for a crash once you read the file, but I suspect it has been disabled unnecessarily.

Hi,

for a few weeks I can't compile r300g drivers, using latest LLVM 3.0 (2.9.99.svn20110711-32.1). At the end of compiling I've got error message like this:
r300_dri.so.tmp: undefined reference to `LLVMAddTypeName'

So, any patch or help!?

Thanks.

Right. With only 1 power state the file is disabled.

Thanks, but it was easier than I thought. I had to change CPU scaling governor from ondemand to performance and OpenArena just flies.

Thanks, that's very useful information. Just yesterday I noticed I may also have that problem. At least there is something shady about it. I didn't properly test it yet, because I also found some other bugs (sigh). I wonder if there is never end to these bugs...

Does this have any good changes for intel graphics? (i'm running ironlake on arch linux, so I will probably get this not too long after it goes stable)
