Mesa 7.7 and Xorg

Hey i see its now in official arch repo with all libgl, ati-dri and so on..everything updated!
but whats the diffewrence between this and old buggy Mesa, libgl, ati-dri?
Some new features, fixed bugs maybe??

I really didnot feel this difference...my ati video with opensource drv works as panfully slow as it used to for half a year ago..((
and whats the new xorg? and when archers will see complete (not RC!!!) Xorg server version??

Try to disable KMS. In menu.lst add "nomodeset" to the kernel line.

Re: Mesa 7.7 and Xorg

linuxgod, I've seen a few of your posts recently, and I think you should learn more about Linux in general and Arch Linux in particular.

Particularly, the rate of development in common open-source projects, and what RC actually means in a project like Xorg, and where the open source ati driver comes from.

Then try to review errors.log, Xorg.log in /var/log folder for any error.
