Comment 24 for bug 1275042

Actually i had already e-mailed Roland Scheideregger privately (thanking him for still giving some care to this ancient driver with BE systems although the commit didn't fix the problems :-).

I already tracked down the breakage that affects me to the (otherwise very sensible) pythonization of the format stuff around commit d4c780e052c9cc361bed5958b72b42d8151800c2 <quote>:

mesa: Add python to parse the formats CSV file
The basic concept for the format parser was taken from the format CSV
parser in gallium/auxilliary/util. However, this one has been altered in a
number of ways:

 * Removed big endian vs. little endian stuff (mesa doesn't need it)
 * Better documentation: Almost every method has a full docstring
 * An actual Swizzle class with methods for composition and inverses
 * Over-all cleaner (in my opinion) implementation and class interactions
 * A few bug fixes

Ahhhh, the joys of optimized code-reuse :-)

Since i'm no pythonista i didn't want to wade into it and still use the 10.3 stuff. But maybe that's a hint for the r600g driver and this bug report.
